Garten des Himmlischen Friedens, Chinese garden in Nordend, Germany
The Garden of Heavenly Peace is a Chinese garden in Frankfurt's Nordend district featuring a jade green pond, curved bridges, pavilions, and traditional Chinese architectural elements. The space covers roughly 4000 square meters and brings these various features together within one cohesive grounds.
This garden opened in October 1989 and took its name in remembrance of events that had occurred at Tiananmen Square in Beijing earlier that year. The choice of name connected the new garden directly to a significant moment in world events.
Chinese experts designed this space following traditional principles from the Huizhou region, with buildings, sculptures, and characters carefully positioned throughout. Visitors can see how each element relates to the others, creating a thoughtful arrangement that reflects these design values.
This garden functions as part of the larger Bethmann Park complex and is open daily with varying hours depending on the day of the week. Visitors can explore in daylight, as access continues until sunset.
Specialized workers from China constructed this garden using materials shipped in 27 containers from Asia to Frankfurt. This scale of international effort made the project a notable collaboration between two continents.
