Niederrad

Explore a residential area in Frankfurt where you can enjoy lush green spaces while viewing the architecture of historic and modern buildings.

Niederrad is a picturesque German district with a laid-back town center and interesting architecture, such as the Baroque Frauenhoftor building. During the summer have a great day outside along the banks of the Main River and at the popular Elli-Lucht-Park.

In 1927 the architect and city planner Ernst May designed Bruchfeldstraße, one of the most famous housing developments in Niederrad. Visit this picturesque area and discover why it's also known as Zickzackhausen (Zigzag). Notice that the façades of the buildings have an unusual angled layout that gives them a sawtooth appearance. Explore this interesting quarter and take photos. The neighborhood was born as a result of the Neues Frankfurt, a housing project developed between 1925 and 1930 to create a new type of urban settlement in the city.

While you are visiting Niederrad, make sure you stop at the Frauenhoftor. This beautiful building was once a cotton factory, constructed between 1761 and 1781. Admire one of the best-preserved Baroque structures in Frankfurt, together with the Bolongaro Palace in the Höchst district. See its elegant arch built to allow loaded trucks easy access to the city when the factory was operational.

Discover the green zones of Niederrad. The district is part of the Frankfurter Grüngürtel (Frankfurt Green Belt), a landscape conservation area that covers about 20,000 acres (8,000 hectares) of land. The belt also includes Frankfurter Stadtwald (Frankfurt City Forest), one of the biggest inner-city forests in Germany. Access this great forest from the southern part of Niederrad.

Stroll along the banks of the Main River to enjoy another beautiful natural space with bicycle paths and nice views. Visit some of the parks in Niederrad, such as Elli-Lucht-Park and Carl-von-Weinberg Park, which has a large playground.

Find the Niederrad district south of the Main River, in Frankfurt am Main, the fifth-largest city in Germany. From the Frankfurt-Niederrad station catch regional trains and buses that travel to many major destinations, including Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (Frankfurt Main Station).
