美因河畔法兰克福奥斯特帕克
Ostpark Frankfurt am Main
A green oasis in an urban context
奥斯特公园位于法兰克福的Nordend Ost区，位于交通基础设施密集的外围区域。公园的北侧和东侧与联邦公路和高速公路接壤，而南侧与法兰克福主要火车站的一个货场接壤。Bornheim/Ostend住宅区也与公园相邻，那里的地下车站为更多的用户提供了进入公园的通道。
The Ostpark is located in Frankfurt’s Nordend-Ost district, in a peripheral area heavily defined by traffic infrastructure. The north and east sides of the park are bordered by federal roads and motorways, while the south side is bordered by a freight yard belonging to Frankfurt’s main railway station. The Bornheim/Ostend residential area is also adjacent to the park, and the underground station there provides a greater number of users access to the park.
The Ostpark is a green oasis in the urban context of the wider landscape, and thus serves the local recreation needs of Frankfurt’s population. The park itself is also characterised by the Riedgraben lake and various sports facilities, including both cinder and turf pitches.

公园大部分建于20世纪50年代末，在公园修复期间，主要关注的是与遗产保护相一致的现代化，以便将现有建筑和许多自然古迹仔细地整合到新设计中。公园作为一个娱乐区的可用性得到了进一步发展：周围杂草丛生的植物被移除，使公园变得开阔，增加了安全感。一种新的环形路径系统主要针对运动员，他们可以使用新的路面进行跑步。运动设施附近覆盖木片的芬尼巴恩提供了一种跑步体验，让使用者感到轻松。两个游乐场，其中一个供幼儿使用，与自然环境无缝融合，并专门为本项目开发了攀岩设备和秋千。
During the restoration of the park, much of which was established in the late 1950s, the main focus was on modernisation that was consistent with heritage protection, so that existing buildings and many natural monuments could be carefully integrated into the new design. The usability of the park as a recreational area was further developed: The removal of overgrown perimeter plantings has opened up the park and increased the sense of safety. A new circular path system is aimed primarily at athletes, who can use the new surface for running. The wooden-chip-covered Finnenbahn near the athletic facilities provides a running experience that is easy on users’ knees. Two playgrounds, one of them for small children, seamlessly blend in with the natural surroundings and have climbing equipment and swings developed especially for this project.
其他重点包括主草地东侧的新烧烤区、堡垒翻新、湖面上的新休息区、湖面上历史悠久的洗浴区Cetto的升级以及公园南部的主要广场Kastanienplatz，它有一个小亭和通往新的紧急过夜庇护所的通道。
Other focal points include the new barbecue area on the east side of the main meadow, the renovation of the bastion, a new sitting area directly on the lake, the upgrading of the Cetto, a historic bathing area on the lake, as well as the Kastanienplatz, the main plaza in the southern part of the park, which has a kiosk and access to the new emergency overnight shelter.
除了通过改善道路和提高休闲价值来升级公园外，另一个重点是对现有植被和居住的埃及鹅种群进行可持续管理，后者有自己的保护区。沿着湖岸也安装了植被垫，为水禽创造了一个新的近乎自然的栖息地。
In addition to upgrading the park by improving the pathways and enhancing the recreational value, another focus was on the sustainable management of existing vegetation as well as the resident Egyptian geese population, the latter which was provided with its own protected areas. Vegetation mats were also installed along the lake’s shore, creating a new near-natural habitat for waterfowl.
