Between the Goethe University and the Palmengarten is one of Frankfurt’s favourite spots to meet up, hang out and relax.
When the weather’s good the Grüneburgpark’s endless lawns are decked with groups of students from the university, and families on days out.
The 30-hectare English-style park was designed in 1877 on land that once belonged to the Rothschild family.
Before then it had been in the hands of the banker Peter Heinrich von Bethmann Metzler, and his guests included Goethe and the writer Bettina von Arnim.
