Public Art - Rinz Memorial
by yooperprof
Sebastian Rinz (1782-1861) was an important landscape architect and designer who helped to plan Frankfurt's wonderful series of inner-city parks. This "necklace" of green space was created on what had previously been the ramparts of the inner city walls. Appropriately, the Rinz Memorial has the nature-lover peering out proudly from under one of his sylvan canopies.
The mystery of the growing hill
by christine.j
If you thought the only mysteries in Frankfurt were those of banks or insurance offices, no, that's not true.
Each year on the first of May a hill keeps growing. In the course of the next year it shrinks again, only to start growing again the next May day.Twice so far I have experienced this phenomenon.
The village of Nieder-Erlenbach organises a 10km and a 5km run each year on May day. The 10km consists of three laps up and down a hill.
Running the first lap, the hill is just that - a hill. It's during the second lap I first noticed this strange phenomenon. Running up, the hill is longer, is steeper, but while I was still wondering about this I had reached the top and was on my way down again.
But on the third lap there was no mistaking: The hill had grown into a full mountain, at least twice as long and three times as steep as before. Isn't that strange??
Only people who take part in the 10 km run can experience this, as the 5km does only one lap.
If you don't believe me - well, see you next year in Nieder-Erlenbach for the 10km. Good shoes and a sense of wonder.

- the Einhard-Cathedral
- a Benedictine monastery
- plenty of half-timbered houses (especially in the Rosengasse, "Klaa-Frankreich") in the historic Old Town
- the Steinheimer Tor (historic city gate)
