Dornbusch (literally: Thornbush) is a quarter of Frankfurt am Main in Hesse, Germany. It is located north of the city center and north of the River Main, and is part of the Ortsbezirk Mitte-Nord. Dornbusch is clockwise surrounded by Eschersheim, Eckenheim, Nordend-West, Westend-Nord, Bockenheim, and Ginnheim.
Dornbusch was created in 1946, and does not have a historic core, because as opposed to the adjacent quarters, it did not develop out of a former village. Before World War II, the western half of what is now Dornbusch was part of Frankfurt-Ginnheim, and the eastern half belonged to Frankfurt-Eckenheim.
The name "Dornbusch" derives from the fact that there grew thornbushes on both sides of what is today Dornbusch's main traffic axis, the Eschersheimer Landstraße (Eschersheim Country Road), until the end of the 19th century. These thornbushes were once part of the Frankfurt city fortifications. The southern border of Dornbusch approximately constituted the northern city border of Frankfurt from the Middle Ages to the annexation of Frankfurt by Prussia in 1866. The next settlement to the north was Eschersheim (now Frankfurt-Eschersheim).
The Sinaipark (Sinaipark), named after the former Sinai-Gärtnerei (Sinai plant nursery), with the Sinai-Wildnis (Sinai-Wilderness) is located at the center of Dornbusch. It was created between 1983 and 1986.
The name "Dornbusch" is known throughout Hesse because of the "Funkhaus am Dornbusch" (Broadcasting Center at the Thornbush), the headquarters of Hessischer Rundfunk, the public radio and television broadcaster of Hesse. Although being named after Dornbusch, the building is located immediately south of the border of Dornbusch in Nordend-West.
