Graubnerpark
The Graubnerpark is a green area in Frankfurt am Main , located in the old town center of the western district of Unterliederbach . The park set up at the beginning of the 19th century and the Graubner's villa from the 18th century located in it are listed under the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
layout
The approximately 0.89 hectare area is dominated by old deciduous trees, the majority of which are English oaks ( Quercus robur ). Other tree species found in the Graubnerpark are elm ( ulmus ), sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ), ash ( Fraxinus ) and wingnuts ( Pterocarya ). The large lawns are enclosed by footpaths that are paved with cobblestone . At the north-western end of the park there is a playground with a half-pipe . In the middle of the park there is a memorial from 1932 for those who died in the First World War . A memorial plaque for the victims of the Second World War was added later . The Graubner'sche Villa is located at the northern exit of the park on Liederbacher Straße . It stands a few meters south of the banks of the Liederbach , a right tributary of the Main .
history
The first documented mention of the site comes from 1537 - as part of the 112 hectares of a Cronberg estate with three manors.
From 1755 to 1756 a Kommerzienrat Stembler had the manor house built in the Baroque style , which has been preserved to the present day . After the house in the early 19th century was in possession of a Carl Münch, it was in 1818 (according to other sources in 1817) the Nassau Herzoglich- Government Minister Carl Friedrich Emil von Ibell (1780-1834) by I. William , Duke of Nassau , given as a gift. During this time, the property was redesigned, in keeping with the taste of the time, in the style of a landscape park , as well as an extension of the residential house and the agricultural buildings.
In 1888 the property came into the possession of the leather manufacturer Wilhelm Karl Graubner, who lived in it with his family until around 1912. After him, the house has been named Graubner'sche Villa to this day . During the First World War, the villa housed a military hospital .
When Unterliederbach was incorporated into Höchst in 1917, the then town of Höchst am Main acquired the park and rededicated it as a public green space. After the war the house was rented to several families. Since Höchsts was incorporated into Frankfurt in 1928, the Graubnerpark has been part of the Frankfurt urban area. In the 1950s, the park property was expanded to the southwest, and a horticultural depot and a children's playground were set up on it. The building of the former depot, which is directly adjacent to the Graubner'sche Villa to the west, is currently the seat of the Unterliederbach association .
