Holzhausenpark, Cultural heritage park in Nordend-West district, Frankfurt, Germany.
Holzhausenpark is a park in the Nordend-West district of Frankfurt, centered around a 19th-century villa that now serves as a small museum. Winding paths connect open lawns, old trees, and a small pond spread across the grounds.
The villa was built in the mid-1800s as a private home for a wealthy Frankfurt family and remained in private hands for several generations. The city of Frankfurt eventually took over the property and opened the grounds to the public.
The name of the park comes from the von Holzhausen family, one of the oldest patrician families in Frankfurt. Today, the grounds are used mostly by families and schoolchildren who come to walk or sit on the grass.
The park has several entrances and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from central Frankfurt. A visit in spring or summer gives the best sense of the gardens, though the paths remain open year-round.
Inside the villa, original furniture and personal objects from the family who once lived there are still on display. This gives the house the feeling of a home rather than a standard museum.
