Wallanlagen, Public park in Frankfurt, Germany

This circular green space spans five kilometers around Frankfurt's city center, featuring tree-lined paths, gardens, and recreational areas for residents and visitors.

The park emerged in the early 19th century following the demolition of Frankfurt's medieval fortifications between 1804 and 1812, replacing defensive walls with public spaces.

Seven distinct sections of the park, each named after former city gates, reflect Frankfurt's urban development phases and serve as reference points throughout the city.

Accessible wheelchair paths connect different areas of the park, while regular guided tours starting at Willy-Brandt-Platz provide insights into the area's history.

The Wallservitut law of 1827 permanently protects this 100-meter-wide green belt from construction, preserving it as a natural barrier around Frankfurt's center.
