Once a hub of military might, the Alter Flugplatz now whispers a different story. Here at the Alter Flugplatz, the ghosts of US military aircraft still linger. They danced in the air until 1992. Now, the Alter Flugplatz is a haven for nature and recreation. This transformation began in the early 2000s. The Alter Flugplatz, also known as Maurice Rose Airfield, became a part of Frankfurt’s GreenBelt. Fences were dismantled, tarmac broken up, and ponds and biotopes created. Imagine picnicking amidst young trees where helicopters once roared. The Alter Flugplatz offers just that. A small snack bar provides refreshments. Children can race along the narrowed, nature-reclaimed runway. A bridge named after Robert Gernhardt arches over the Nidda. It connects the Alter Flugplatz to surrounding paths for pedestrians and cyclists. A sculpture of the “GrünGürteltiers” perches on the bridge railing, a whimsical touch Gernhardt might have appreciated. The Alter Flugplatz is a testament to transformation. From a restricted military zone to a vibrant green space, it embodies Frankfurt’s commitment to nature and recreation. The whispers of the past mingle with the laughter of children, creating a unique harmony at the Alter Flugplatz.
