Dornbusch (Frankfurt am Main)

Dornbusch (literally: Thornbush) is a quarter of Frankfurt am Main in Hesse, Germany.

Dornbusch is clockwise surrounded by Eschersheim, Eckenheim, Nordend-West, Westend-Nord, Bockenheim, and Ginnheim.

Dornbusch was created in 1946, and does not have a historic core, because as opposed to the adjacent quarters, it did not develop out of a former village.

The U-Bahn tracks cannot be crossed except at the stations, and hence divide Dornbusch into a western and an eastern part.

When the Franks resided there, Marbachweg 307 still belonged to Frankfurt-Eckenheim, while Ganghoferstraße 24 lay in Frankfurt-Ginnheim.

Marcel Reich-Ranicki, born in 1920 in Włocławek, lived at Gustav-Freytag-Straße 36, at the intersection with Fritz-Reuter-Straße, in the Poets' Quarter, west of the subway station Fritz-Tarnow-Straße, from 1974 until 2013.
