Friedberger Anlage, park in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Friedberger Anlage is an urban park in Frankfurt, about 5 hectares in size, with mature trees including a Schiller Oak planted in 1859 and several century-old oaks. A pond with fountains and planted banks lies at its centre, and paths and play areas run through the green space.

The park was created following Napoleon's 1802 order to demolish Frankfurt's fortifications and convert the space for the growing city. In the early 1800s, the area became a valued green space where cultural institutions like the Bethmann family's first public museum later opened.

The park takes its name from the Friedberger Tor, a gate of Frankfurt's former city walls. Its main path follows the line of the old fortifications, and the grounds are used today for walking, ball games and children's play.

The park lies about 500 metres northeast of Frankfurt's main railway station and is reached from the Zeil shopping street. It has two playgrounds, and paths cross the grounds toward the surrounding streets. Benches line the walks, and the pond with its fountains and willows sits in the middle of the green space.

The pond features water fountains that rise directly from its center while willow trees hang over the water, attracting mallards, geese, and herons. This combination of water, trees, and birds creates a special retreat within the urban park.
