geography

The center of Bockenheim is around 3 km from the center of the city center. Both the geographical center and the main area of ​​Frankfurt are located in Bockenheim. Bockenheim borders in the east on the Westend , in the north-east on Dornbusch , in the north on Ginnheim and Hausen , in the west on Rödelheim , in the south-west on Griesheim and in the south on the Gallus .

Bockenheim is characterized by the adjacent, but mainly in the Westend located Bockenheim Campus of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , the Messe Frankfurt in the south of the district, the commercial areas Industrial Yard and City West in the northwest and a wide-ranging infrastructure of dining and shopping . The Kuhwaldsiedlung on the other side of City West and the Rebstock development area also belong to Bockenheim.

The district benefits from its direct proximity to the exhibition grounds and the banking district . Over the past twenty years, City West has made it another major business location within Frankfurt. An alternative student environment with many pubs, bars and shops has also established itself around the Bockenheim campus of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University . In the district, the core is Leipziger Strasse as well-known shopping street.

history

The history of today's Frankfurt district goes back to the Neolithic , as archaeological finds show. The oldest surviving mention of Bockenheim can be found in a deed of donation in favor of the Lorsch Monastery , which has been handed down in the Lorsch Codex and is dated to the period from 768 to 778. Initially located in the royal wilderness area of ​​Dreieich , the village was pledged in 1320 by King Ludwig IV, along with the entire Bornheimerberg, to Ulrich II of Hanau . Until 1713 it remained with the rule and later County of Hanau (from 1456 to 1642: County of Hanau-Munzenberg ). After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Bockenheim fell in 1736 together with the county to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , from 1803 " Electorate of Hesse ", which was annexed by Prussia together with Frankfurt after the war of 1866 . In 1819, Elector Wilhelm I of Hessen-Kassel made Bockenheim a city in order to locate industries in the vicinity of the anti-industrial Frankfurt. In fact, factories, beginning with a "chaisen" factory, set up there in the course of the 19th century, such as chemical works and machine works. On April 1, 1895, the cities of Frankfurt and Bockenheim then signed an incorporation agreement through which Bockenheim became a Frankfurt district.

coat of arms

The city coat of arms shows a golden beehive with flying bees on a blue background as a symbol of industry (city privilege from 1822). This is the oldest Bockenheim seal from 1820. The coat of arms was incorporated into the logo of the Frankfurter Sparkasse from 1822 (formerly Sparkasse der Stadt Bockenheim ) and as such shaped the beehive house at the Konstablerwache for a long time .

politics

Bockenheim is part of the Frankfurt am Main II constituency in state elections and part of the Frankfurt am Main I constituency in federal elections .

The responsible local councils are the local council Frankfurt-Innenstadt II and local council Frankfurt-Mitte-West .

Francke School (primary school)
Sophienschule (secondary school), since 2019 JTS Johanna Tesch School (honorable IGS in the north of Frankfurt)

Bockenheim is divided into four school districts , each with one primary school :

  • The Francke School in Falkstraße was built in 1876 as a Bockenheimer Realschule with separate lessons for boys and girls, renamed the Falk Middle School from 1913 and named after the theologian August Hermann Francke from 1950 . Due to a two-year renovation of the Francke School, lessons have been taking place in container buildings behind the FTG Sportfabrik (Ginnheimer Straße 47) since 2018.

  • The Viktoria-Luise-Schule (Rebstock primary school until 2017) is located on the Rebstock site , where Frankfurt's first airport was located from 1912 to 1936. The school is named after the Zeppelin LZ 11 "Viktoria Luise" , which u. a. was stationed on the site. Students at the school have chosen the name for the school.

Secondary schools and vocational schools

In addition to the above-mentioned Georg Büchner School , Bockenheim has three further secondary schools :

  • The secondary school Sophienschule at Falkstraße 60 - built in 1883 (formerly Bockenheimer girls' elementary school) was named after Sophie von Brabant , the ancestral mother of the Hessian princes. Since the school development plan no longer provides for independent secondary schools, the Sophienschule will be closed in June 2019.
  • The upper-level high school Max-Beckmann-Schule , the former Liebig- Oberrealschule at Sophienstrasse 70. The listed school building, which was built in 1913 according to plans by city building master Adolf Moritz and city building inspector Paul Kanold , was extensively restored.
  • From 2019 to 2022 Johanna Tesch School, six-class ISG, temporarily in the school building at Falkstrasse 60, former ISG in the north of Frankfurt.
  • The Neue Gymnasiale Oberstufe (NGO) moved from its temporary location in school containers in the Riedberg district to Bockenheim at Voltastraße 1a at the beginning of 2018. The new location of the education campus in Gallus should be completed around 2026.
  • The Gutenberg School - a vocational, vocational, technical college and technical school at Hamburger Allee  23 in a building from 1909.

  • The Frankfurt School for Clothing and Fashion , vocational, vocational, technical college and technical college is also located in the Hamburger Allee  23 building.

Clinics and emergency facilities

The Catholic St. Elisabethen Hospital goes back to a hospital built by the Dernbach Sisters in 1888 in Ederstraße . It was destroyed by an air raid in 1944 and rebuilt in 1945 as an emergency hospital on Ginnheimer Strasse . It is sponsored by the Dernbacher Group Katharina Kasper . The middle section of the St. Elisabethen Hospital was built in 1888 as a boys' elementary school. There is a replica of the Lourdes grotto in the hospital park . An extension of the clinic was completed in 2017 and the facilities of the Marienkrankenhaus from the Nordend were relocated there.

The Markus Hospital is a Protestant hospital with a focus on care on Ginnheimer Landstrasse and Wilhelm-Epstein-Strasse in the north of Bockenheim. It was founded in Falkstrasse in 1881 and completely destroyed in an air raid in February 1944. In 1958 a new building was built on the Ginnheimer Höhe, which has been continuously expanded and modernized since then. Since 2009 it has been part of the Christian Agaplesion group . The hospital has a total of twelve departments, four institutes, several competence centers and around 700 beds.

The operational area of ​​the professional fire brigade Frankfurt for Bockenheim was assigned to the location of fire station 2 in the Gallusviertel, Heinrichstraße 2.

Parts of Bockenheim and the south west end belong to the guard area of ​​the 13th police station in Schloßstraße .

Significant places

Kurfürstenplatz, former market square

The Kurfürstenbrunnen in the middle of the Kurfürstenplatz.

Kurfürstenplatz is between Schloßstraße and Großer Seestraße. Its name is supposed to remind of the elector Wilhelm I (Hessen-Kassel) , who was temporarily expelled by Napoleon and who in 1819 granted Bockenheim city rights. The monumental fountain in the center of the square was built in 1913 from red Main sandstone and inaugurated on May 23, 1914. It is a foundation of the citizens of Bockenheim. Architects were Caspar Lennartz (1879–1949) and the Frankfurt sculptor Emil Hub (1876–1954). The group of figures in the fountain has allegorical significance. The centaur , a mythical creature, has a human upper body and the lower body of a horse. This is supposed to mean cleverness and strength. He shows a boy a flame, which is supposed to remind of the important Bockenheimer industry in the 19th century. The ram and the two boys, with one boy carrying a shepherd's staff and the other carrying a sickle with ears of wheat, embody Bockenheim's more than 1000 years of agriculture. The ten meter high obelisk represents the up-and-coming district. In the current Frankfurt fountain directory it is called Bockenheimer Obeliskbrunnen (also Elector Fountain ).

Former town hall of the city of Bockenheim, destroyed in 1944 (1871)

The Kurfürstenplatz itself was previously a marshland that was drained and landscaped for Bockenheim free of charge by the well-known garden and landscape gardeners " Gebrüder Siesmayer " in 1868. This should create a new marketplace. A line of sight went from the Catholic Church of St. Elisabeth over the fountain to the then new town hall of the still independent town of Bockenheim, which was built in 1869. In 1895 the town hall lost its function when it was incorporated into the city of Frankfurt. The building was destroyed by aerial bombs in 1944. Today there is the community center Bockenheim of the Saalbau GmbH and the area guard 20 of the Frankfurt fire brigade . The other line of sight went from the Protestant St. Mark's Church to today's Westbahnhof.

In 2013, a container facility was built on part of the green areas of Kurfürstenplatz, which temporarily houses a day-care center.

Elisabethenplatz

St. Elisabeth Church on Elisabethenplatz

The square was named after Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia (1207–1231). The focus is on the Catholic Church of St. Elisabeth (Bockenheim), which is located on the southern side of Kurfürstenplatz. Because of its swampy subsoil, its original foundation is said to have been secured with oak trunks. The church building was destroyed in 1944. On April 30, 1950, its reconstruction was completed.

Church square, historical center

The church square is considered to be the historical center of the formerly independent village of Bockenheim, near the Jakobskirche of the Evangelical community of Bockenheim . On its west side were originally u. a. the old town hall and court house, which was replaced in 1754 by a twin house for a town hall and a school. After the city of Bockenheim had built a new town hall on Kurfürstenplatz in 1869–1871 (destroyed by bombs in World War II), this semi-detached house served as a residential building. In 1906 the building was demolished and replaced in 1910 by the streetcar apartment block between Rödelheimer Straße and Fritzlarer Straße, which still exists today.

Hessenplatz

In the western part of the formerly independent town of Bockenheim, basalt was mined from 10 to 14 meter thick layers - in some cases as early as Roman times . Extensions of this basalt rock from the volcanic Vogelsberg can be found up to today's Nauheimer Strasse near Westbahnhof. In addition to the Mainischen red sandstone, the basalt was a sought-after building material, for example for street paving and foundations, also in neighboring Frankfurt. The "Große Steinkaute" on what was then Steinweg, today's Basaltstrasse, was later filled with stone and converted into a green area as Hessenplatz. In 1855 a slaughterhouse consisting of five buildings and a restaurant with a dance hall, the later Titania hall, were built as perimeter development. Today there is a children's playground on Hessenplatz, framed by old trees.

Tilly-Edinger-Platz

The square was named in Tilly-Edinger-Platz in honor of the paleontologist Tilly Edinger who died in 1967 .

The older Bockenheimers once called this place Königsplätze . This is where the hussar memorial for the 13th Bockenheimer hussars who fell in World War I was originally located , which is now in the Senckenberg complex. In honor of Theodor W. Adorno , the square was renamed in 2003 and the Adorno memorial was erected, which was relocated to the Westend campus in 2016 .

Hülya Square

The new Hammering Man from 2013

This square is named after Hülya Genç, who was killed on May 29, 1993 in the Solingen assassination attempt . She was only nine years old. Hülya is an Arabic-Turkish female given name and means luck, dream, cheerfulness. In memory of Hülya Genç and the four other people killed in this arson attack, the small square between Friesengasse and Kleiner Seestrasse immediately in front of an old people's and nursing home was named Hülya-Platz . A approx. 2 m high replica of the Hammering Man sculpture was erected by a citizens' initiative , which hits a swastika with a hammer. With the help of a crank you could sometimes perform this striking movement yourself. Vandalism soon destroyed this mechanism, then parts of the sculpture. The replacement sculpture also fell victim to vandalism on various occasions. In 2013 a new sculpture of the Hammering Man was donated by a citizens' initiative .

Rohmerplatz

War memorial on Rohmerplatz by Oskar Ufert (1876–1952)

The Rohmerplatz is a place named in memory of the wealthy Rohmer family next to the post office. A 2.2 hectare park was located here with a villa acquired by Johann Conrad Rohmer in 1818 (demolished in 1905) and a villa built by Carl Rohmer in 1835 (demolished around 1921). The large area was then parceled out and almost completely built on. Today a monument by the sculptor Oskar Ufert (1876–1952) for the 1,200 Bockenheim soldiers who died in the First World War stands in the middle of the small green area on Rohmerplatz, framed by old trees .

Parks

Von Bernus Park

Historic Schlossparkbrücke in Von Bernus Park

The off-Bernus Park is right on the castle road. The former baroque palace , which was built by Princess Henriette Amalie von Anhalt-Dessau , the youngest daughter of the old Dessauer , in 1771 and passed into the possession of the von Bernus family after her death in 1793 , was completely destroyed in a bomb attack in 1944. The park was acquired by the city in 1954. In the middle there is a small pond and it has two children's playgrounds. The park and the pond were laid out when the palace was built. The historic bridge leads over a narrow point.

Biegwald

The Biegwald is an 18.4 hectare unmanaged forest park in the city of Frankfurt am Main . It is located in the Bockenheim and Rödelheim districts west of the city center . As part of the Frankfurt green belt, the forest is a designated landscape protection area .

Rebstockpark

Rebstockweiher with swimming pool in the park

In the southwest of the district is the Rebstock site , which is characterized by the Rebstockpark and the Rebstockbad adventure pool built there . Historically, the grounds of the current Rebstock Park came from the Rebstock patrician family, who ran an estate there. The Rebstockpark was opened in 2005. The Rebstockweiher is the center of the Rebstock Park and is an artificially created, calm body of water with no surface influx. It is fed exclusively from groundwater.

Zeppelin Park and Pocket Park North

It invites you to linger and pass, and at the same time offers games, sports and leisure for all age groups. The northern pocket park also has play areas and a play and sunbathing area.

Volkspark Niddatal

Partial view of the Volkspark Niddatal

The Volkspark Niddatal is the largest park in Frankfurt with a total area of ​​168 hectares and, besides Bockenheim, borders on several parts of the city. The Niddapark was created for the Federal Horticultural Show in 1989 in the Niddaauen area and opened to the public after the event. Many Frankfurters still call the Volkspark Niddatal Bugagelände today . The park has extensive, largely natural-looking meadows and forests and is very popular as a local recreation area, especially for joggers and dog owners in Frankfurt. He has several playgrounds.

Miquel plant

Miquel plant with Bundesbank building and Europaturm in the background

The Miquel plant was built in the early 1970s before the new building of the Deutsche Bundesbank. The park was named after the Lord Mayor of Frankfurt am Main, Franz von Miquel . The "Miquel-Anlage" of the Deutsche Bundesbank was awarded the title "Exemplary Building in Hesse" in 1978. The facility was completely renovated in 2002 and has an approximately 5000 square meter pond with a water fountain and a small bridge.

graveyards

Historic churchyard Bockenheim (church square)

Up until the 19th century, the churchyard around St. Jacob's Church met the requirements. When he reached his limit of admission, a new cemetery was laid out well in front of what was then the village center in Solmsstrasse. The churchyard at the Jakobskirche was later reduced in size several times and also built over. A few, weathered tombs and an existing comprehensive wall are still reminiscent of the oldest enclosed churchyard in Bockenheim.

Old Bockenheim Cemetery (Solmsstrasse)

Gravestone in the old Bockenheim cemetery

→ Main article in the old cemetery Bockenheim

This cemetery between Solmsstraße and Ohmstraße was created in 1825 as a replacement for the Jakobskirchhof, expanded in 1871 and used until 1898. It was later reduced in size several times in favor of new buildings. A weathered war memorial commemorates three Bockenheim soldiers who died in the war of 1870/71 . Some tombstones are still preserved. A memorial plaque in the cemetery wall commemorates the buried Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp (copperplate engraver), Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand Guhr (Kapellmeister at the Frankfurt City Theater ) and Anton Schindler (Beethoven's first biographer). In 1878 the Bockenheimer Friedhof Solmsstraße was replaced by the New Bockenheim Cemetery on Ginnheimer Landstraße. In 2012, a comprehensive redesign of the facility used as a park was completed, during which, among other things, numerous preserved stones were excavated and combined to form a burial ground.

New Bockenheim Cemetery (Ginnheimer Landstrasse)

The new Bockenheimer Friedhof is located at Ginnheimer Landstrasse 97 on the border with the Ginnheim district. It was handed over to its intended purpose in 1878 and was built on the premises of a brewery, whereby the brewhouse was initially converted into a mourning hall . In 2005 the current mourning hall was completely renovated by the city for the last time.

Jewish cemetery (Sophienstrasse)

The old Jewish cemetery in Bockenheim is located on Sophienstrasse. The time of its creation is unknown, it was documented until the beginning of the 20th century. Surrounded by a high wall, the 1641 square meter area cannot be seen from the street. About 300 stones have been preserved. There are also a number of stumbling blocks that are supposed to remind of the lives of Jews and other victims of Nazi persecution in Bockenheim.
