Guided Story
Here you are in a park that was once a cemetery. From 1825 to 1898, this place in Bockenheim served as a final resting ground. Now, it's a peaceful park managed by the city of Frankfurt. Just 11 meters southeast of you stands a war memorial, a solemn reminder of those who fell. If you look to the west, you'll see the Greek Orthodox Church of Prophet Elias, just 55 meters away.
