Bethmannpark, Park and cultural heritage monument in Nordend, Frankfurt, Germany.
Description
Bethmannpark is a park and cultural heritage monument in Nordend, featuring around 3.1 hectares with mature trees, flowerbeds, and protective walls that buffer the noise from Friedberger Landstraße and Anlagenring. The space includes multiple sections to explore and enjoy.
History
Johann Philipp Bethmann acquired the garden in 1783 outside Frankfurt's city walls, where notable figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary later visited. The site became a public municipal space in 1953.
Culture
The Garden of Heavenly Peace, added in 1989, incorporates authentic Chinese elements including pavilions, curved pagodas, and bridges over a jade-green pond. Visitors can experience Eastern garden design traditions here in the middle of Frankfurt.
Practical
A consultation garden operates on select weekdays, where visitors can receive guidance on plant care and disease management from experts. This makes it easy to get hands-on horticultural advice during your visit.
Did you know?
The park underwent a remarkable shift from a private garden owned by a wealthy family to a public teaching space for horticulture. This transformation allowed ordinary Frankfurt residents to learn about gardening and plant cultivation for free.
