Wallanlage, Medieval fortification structure in Frankfurt, Germany
The Wallanlage forms a circular green belt surrounding Frankfurt's inner city, with seven sections named after former city gates along its path.
The structure originated from the city expansion in 1333 when Emperor Ludwig allowed Frankfurt to extend its boundaries, leading to defensive wall construction.
The transformation from military fortification to public park in the early 1800s marked a shift in urban planning, creating spaces for community gatherings.
The complete circular path extends 5.6 kilometers around the city center, offering multiple entry points and requiring approximately two hours to walk.
The Taunusanlage section contains the Heine Monument by Georg Kolbe, while the Untermainanlage features one of Frankfurt's few Art Nouveau fountains.
