Riederwald is one of the smallest districts in Frankfurt. Created at the beginning of the last century in three sections as a residential development for the workers employed at the east harbor, the district still features the many different building styles: from flat roofed homes to two-story twin houses with mansard roofs. In the south of the district lies the 33 hectare large Riederwald with its adventure playground and Riederbruch wetland.
