[2] Like many public sites in Frankfurt, it was privately financed and implemented by the architect Heinrich Siesmayer [de].

[4] The botanical exhibits are organized according to their origin in free-air or climatized greenhouses, which also contain numerous tropical and subtropical plants.

[5] At the entry to the garden half of the original social building of 1905, which was rebuilt again, currently serves as the main entrance to the Palmengarten.

Once the entrance building is left behind, we find the "Rosaleda", with a characteristic geometric style of plant distribution.

The Rosenbrunn house is located in the middle, built in the early garden style of 1884, it had been part of the office buildings.

[6] This is the main core of the original Palmengarten, it was built in 1869 and is one of the largest buildings of its kind found in Europe.

The rockery (Der Steingarten, or Garden among the stones), is located on the flanks of the rocky hill, and it was completely renovated in the 80s.

Where the rockery ends, in the east, the heather garden begins with its attractive color in the blooms of late summer.

Also appealing is the gradation of shades of green presented by the rest of the year, this collection of wild and crossed species of the genera Erica and Calluna.

This part of the garden has puddled areas, with abundant water and a stream accompanies along the main path of the walk.

The red sandstone dominates on the left, where the plants of Patagonia, the Tierra del Fuego archipelago and the Falkland Islands are located, being delimited by a small swampy area.

[9][10] The southern greenhouse "arid tropical regions" (Südstern) contains plants from semi-arid zones, savanna, and foggy desert.
