Lienaupark

Another park designed by Peter Joseph Lenné is only a stone's throw away in Frankfurt (Oder) – if you come from Lennépark and cross the street Halbe Stadt at the northern end near the Schöpferdenkmal. Lienaupark was named after former city councillor and wine wholesaler Martin Michael Lienau, whose villa was both the reference point and the centre of the park. It was laid out by Lenné up until 1845. The villa was demolished after the Second World War.

The core of Lienaupark is a protected site and is currently being reopened to the public in small stages. The artistic elements here are the monument erected in 1861 in honour of Lienau – an obelisk made of white marble – and a memorial to socialist writer Erich Weinert. This gem of a park contains Kentucky coffeetrees that are more than 160 years old, a Ginkgo biloba dating back to 1844 and black pines, making Lienaupark is yet another of Frankfurt’s wonderful city parks.
