Fastest route (approx. 15 min)
Take the U4 subway from the main station to “Bockenheimer Warte.” It usually runs every 15-20 min. There is no working elevator to the subway! Travel two stops (3 min) to the final stop, “Bockenheimer Warte.” The walk from here takes approx. 12 minutes. From the large intersection, follow Bockenheimer Landstraße in the direction of the “Westend Tip” kiosk and the “Salon Kreativ” hairdresser on one side of the street and “Bistro 111” and the “Mr. Clean” dry cleaner on the other side of the street. After 400m, turn left into Siesmayer Straße and follow it for 450m until it crosses Grüneburgweg and a path leads into Grüneburgpark. The park entrance is right next to the campsite.
Shortest walking route (approx. 25 min)
Take the U4 from the main station to “Bockenheimer Warte.” . It usually runs every 15-20 minutes. There is no working elevator to the subway! Travel two stops (3 minutes) to the final stop, “Bockenheimer Warte.” From there, take the “M36 Hainer Weg” and travel 5 stops (8 minutes) to the “Mitscherlichplatz” station. The walk from here takes about 5 minutes. Follow “Grüneburgweg” for 100 meters to the roundabout and continue along “August–Siebert–Straße” until you see a path into the park on the left after about 200 meters. The park entrance is right next to the campsite.
Most wheelchair-accessible route (approx. 23 min)
As there is no working elevator to the subway at the main station, it is best to take the bus to the camp. It runs every 15 minutes.
Leave the main station via the exit on the south side (on “Mannheimer Straße”) and take bus “64 Ginnheim Mitte.” All buses have a wheelchair space and the ramp is folded out by the bus driver. Tell them that you are going to the “Bremer Platz” station. This is 6 stops (10 minutes). From the station, it is about a 12-minute walk to the camp. There are lowered curbs along the entire route. Turn left (towards the street corner with the “falper.” sign above the glass-fronted rooms) into “Wolfsgangstraße.” Unfortunately, cars park diagonally on the curb here, and the path can be very narrow in places. Follow it for 250 meters until it crosses Grüneburgweg. Turn right onto Grüneburgweg and follow it for 150 meters until you reach the roundabout. From here, continue along August–Siebert–Straße until you see a path into the park on the left after about 200 meters. The park entrance is right next to the campsite.
Arriving by car

There are a few parking spaces available in the surrounding streets, but most of them are not free of charge. There are approximately 30 free parking spaces directly at one of the park entrances at Siesmayerstraße 68. However, these were completely full when we visited, and we do not know what the parking situation will be like during the camp.
Directly opposite is the Botanical Garden parking garage at Siesmayerstraße 61. It has 259 parking spaces (no display showing how many are still available) and an entrance height of 2.10 m. Entry is possible from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and exit is possible at any time via a night entrance. Parking costs here are €1 per hour or part thereof, with a maximum of €4 at night (7 p.m. to 7 a.m.), which amounts to €16 per day.

Grüneburgpark – Location of the System Change Camp
Grüneburgpark is located in Frankfurt’s Westend district and, covering around 29 hectares, is one of the largest green spaces in the city. The park consists of large meadows, old groups of trees, and individual architectural elements such as the Schönhof Pavilion and the so-called Rapunzel Tower. The paths are mostly curved and are modeled on the style of English landscape gardens, with open spaces and scattered shrubs and trees.
The current park was created in the mid-19th century. Originally, there was a private estate here. Starting in 1845, the Rothschild family had the grounds redesigned into a landscape park and built a representative palace, which was destroyed in World War II. During the Nazi era, the family was expropriated and the grounds were transferred to public use. Today, a memorial commemorates the history of the Rothschild family.
Today, Grüneburgpark serves as a publicly accessible park for recreation, sports, and events. It is used by people from different parts of the city. The Palmengarten, Goethe University Frankfurt, and other open spaces are located in the adjacent area. Parts of the old tree population and some smaller historic buildings have been preserved.
During the camp, plays by the Dramatische Bühne Frankfurt theater company will be performed on the open–air stage in the north of the park. Feel free to check it out and see if there’s something there for you: https://www.diedramatischebuehne.de/programm/
The System Change Camp will take place in the southern part of the park. A camp schedule will be available on our website from August 17, 2025.
Additional information about barriers in the park:
The park offers plenty of shade thanks to its large groups of trees. The wide paths are made of very compacted sand/gravel and occasionally have rounded hollows of stones approximately 30 cm wide embedded in them (see photo). There are benches at regular intervals along the paths. There are several playgrounds around the campsite where children often play, as well as a kindergarten, which can be noisy during the day.
