Trains, Trams and Planes in Frankfurt, 5 of 9: Alter Flugplatz Bonames




Alter Flugplatz Bonames was Maurice Rose Airfield, a US military airfield until 1992. Since the early 2000s it has been part of the GrünGürtel, the city's green belt: the fences came down, the asphalt was broken up, and ponds and wild meadows grew in.
Kids run, bike and scoot along the old runway, now narrowed and left to nature. A picnic meadow sits beside a snack kiosk with long tables.
