Book Synopsis

In the middle of Frankfurt’s Nordend with its numerous listed residential buildings and noble villas is the Holzhausenschlösschen, surrounded by Holzhausenpark. This baroque moated castle is the last surviving example of a patrician country house that developed from a medieval estate; a reminder of the early shape and history of the city of Frankfurt. Originally built by the patrician von Holzhausen family, since 1989 it has been the seat of Frankfurt Civic Foundation, which is also the publisher of this book. Well-versed in architectural history, Hannelore Limberg sketches the development of the Holzhausenschlösschen from the medieval "Große Oede" to its present manifestation as an historical ensemble in modern Frankfurt in this richly illustrated volume.
