Anger in Frankfurt (Oder)

This beautiful open space in Frankfurt (Oder) has had an eventful history ever since the Middle Ages: shooting range of the Schützenbruderschaft (rifle fraternity), parade ground of the Frankfurt Leibregiment and from 1923 onwards finally a park designed by Wilhelm Hirsch. The village green is divided into three areas: in the north the rose garden (Rosarium), in the south the herbaceous garden and in the middle an expansive lawn with the 1947 memorial for fallen Soviet soldiers by Theodor Peißig. Around 600 Soviet soldiers found their last resting place here.

Since its redesign at the turn of the millennium, the green has been a popular place for picnics and sports as well as for children to play on the newly built playground. The entire green is surrounded by the four-row lime tree avenue in Lindenstrasse, which was laid out in 1679, and the two-row lime tree avenue dating back to the mid-18th century in Walter-Korsing-Strasse. In the north, the residential buildings created by architect Martin Kießling and built in 1923/ 24 close off the urban area.
