Günthersburgpark, Urban park in Nordend-Ost, Frankfurt, Germany
Günthersburgpark is a 7.4-hectare green space in Frankfurt's Nordend-Ost district with dense tree collections including sequoias and black pines, alongside open grass areas and meadows in the northern sections. The grounds feature varied landscapes that reveal themselves as visitors walk through different zones.
Merchant Carl Mayer von Rothschild purchased the estate in 1837 and transformed it into an English landscape garden. The city of Frankfurt acquired the grounds in 1891 and opened them to the public.
Two bronze sculptures stand within the grounds: Der Sämann by Constantin Meunier and a large copper bull by Fritz Boehle created in 1910. These artworks shape the character of the space and draw visitors to pause and observe.
The grounds feature modern play areas for children including adventure playgrounds, water features, and a ten-meter climbing tower. Various facilities are accessible via maintained pathways, providing families with diverse options for their visit.
The Rothschild Orangerie, built in 1855, survived World War II bombing raids and remains standing as a preserved structure within the park. This historic building serves as a reminder of the estate's private past before it became a public space.
