You drive past quickly, and I bet most regular commuters have never set foot in the settlement. But it's worth it! Architecturally a gem of earlier employee housing construction.

The Nied railway bridge in Frankfurt am Main is the second oldest railway bridge still in operation in Germany.[1] The arched bridge was built in 1838 and went into operation in 1839. The Taunus Railway crosses the Nidda River on it. The bridge is located between Frankfurt Central Station and Frankfurt-Höchst Station in the Nied district.

On the banks of the Nidda River in Rödelheim, the Barefoot Man smiles at visitors. Perhaps he's looking forward to a picnic or children wanting to ride on his back. His friendliness is undeniable – despite a certain peculiarity: Not only does he possess six pairs of (bare) feet, but he also grows hands and more feet where other creatures have ears, a nose, and a tail. This fantastical creature has sprung from the animal and plant kingdoms. The illustrator and cartoonist Kurt Halbritter compiled this book, which, in a scientific manner, purports to describe other such beings in pictures and text. One characteristic of the Barefoot Man, according to him, is that he carries pilgrims home after their pilgrimage, exhausted by their journey. The bronze sculpture in the Kurt Halbritter Park was created by the Kassel sculptor Siegfried Böttcher.
