The Green Belt animal (Dasipus frankonia) drawn by Robert Gernhardt has been standing on the Robert Gernhardt Bridge in Bonames since 2007, cast in bronze. It can also be found three times on the grounds of the MainÄppelHaus-Lohrberg in Seckbach and once on the bridge railing at the airport. The animal invented by Gernhard is a mixture of a pig, a newt and a starling. Its fur is grass green and its preferred territory is the Frankfurt Green Belt. Robert Gernhardt first discovered and drew it on the Wörthspitze, a former Nidda island, in Höchst. Today, the three "Gernhardt ash trees" stand on this spot to commemorate this event. The cartoonist gave the animal to the city of Frankfurt on the tenth anniversary of the Frankfurt Green Belt. It can be found on the cover of the book sculpture Stadtschreiber Bergen-Enkheim on Hohe Strasse in Bergen-Enkheim, but also as a stuffed animal, sticker and poetry album picture. There is also the GrünGürtel-Tier Suite, and the GrünGürtel-Tier now has its own website.
Like F.K. Waechter, Hans Traxler, Chlodwig Poth and F.W. Bernstein, Gernhardt is a co-founder of the "New Frankfurt School".
