Büsing-Park

Büsing-Park is a green space around Büsing Palace in Offenbach am Main that stretches from Berliner Strasse to Kaiserstrasse and connects with the neighboring Lili-Park. The grounds feature different areas with a playground, boules court, water features, fountains, and scattered benches.

The grounds were established in 1790 as an English landscape garden and still contain original oak trees from that period. The site belonged to the manufacturing families Bernard and d'Orville for a long time before passing into public ownership in 1890.

The park was privately owned by wealthy manufacturing families and reflects their taste for English garden culture. Visitors can still sense this preference for naturalistic design that was typical of upper-class society in the 18th century.

The grounds are flat and easy to explore on foot, with plenty of rest spots along the various paths. Visitors should note that many walkways are tree-lined and different areas may have varying levels of accessibility depending on the season.

A circular temple from 1790 called Monopteros sits on a small hill and shows the artistic planning of the original garden. The structure was originally designed as a venue for musical performances and is often overlooked by visitors.
