Rechneigrabenweiher, Urban pond in Frankfurt, Germany
Rechneigrabenweiher is a pond set within Frankfurt's green belt system, roughly 0.8 hectares in size. The water sits at the park's southeastern edge and provides a quiet spot for walking and watching wildlife.
The pond took shape after the city walls were demolished in 1812, formed from southeastern defense ditches. It initially served as a water reservoir for fighting fires.
A red Main sandstone memorial at the shore honors Frankfurt's fishing and boating traditions. It reflects how central these professions were to the city's identity and daily life.
The pond is easily reached by S-Bahn lines S1-6 and S8 at Ostendstraße station or trams 11 and 14 at Allerheiligentor stop. The surrounding area is flat and walkable, making casual loops around the water straightforward.
Jakob Guiollett's grave is the only burial ever permitted within the park grounds, marking a rare exception in the green belt's history. This honors his extraordinary role in creating Frankfurt's entire green belt system.
