It is a huge garden full of flowers

#centraleurope

The garden covers 20 hectares and houses around 13,000 plant species in its outdoor areas and under the roofs of many, often historic, display houses. Exhibitions, topical guided tours, and musical events make the Palmengarten a major attraction at all seasons. And this not only includes human visitors: If you stroll past the garden’s meadows and flower beds on a sunny summer day, you will encounter numerous insects, including many species that are now rare.
The Palm House is the Palmengarten’s heart and showpiece, and it is even older than the garden itself. It was opened as early as November 1869, one-and-a-half years before the park was established.

According to the garden’s founder, Heinrich Siesmayer, the Palm House was to serve as a haven for exotic plants while at the same time offering Frankfurt’s society a place to gather and enjoy themselves. To this end, it combined an enormous winter garden with an anterior building, the Society House, including a glamorous ballroom that was restored to its original splendor after completion of the restoration work in 2012.
