Gleispark Frintrop

The track park Frintrop (until 2007 Ruderalpark Frintrop) is a landscape park on the former goods station in food Frintrop at the city boundary to the new middle Oberhausen. It belongs to the Emscher Landscape Park (Regional Green Route B) and is a stop in the Route of Industrial Heritage.
The 25-hectare site was originally used by the Cologne-Minden railway as a shunting and collecting station. He was shut down in the 1960s. In 1998, the Regionalverband Ruhr bought the fallow land from Deutsche Bahn, dismantled most of the tracks and renatured the site.
The ground of the area is due to the fallen of wagons substances (steel, coal, iron ore, lime) and the gravel of the former railway tracks strongly drained, almost steppe-like and is populated by typical pioneer plants. The predominant plant is the birch. In the eastern part of the park there is a birch forest with ruins and sculptures, further west a meadow overgrown with shrubs and bushes. Evening primrose, St. John's wort, Diarr root or Goldenrod thrive on the open, sun-warmed areas. Hawthorn, black elder and wild roses grow on the roadsides, blackberries in the undergrowth.
New planting does not take place in the park, rather the area is kept free, paths and works of art are secured. Many species of insects, butterflies, small animals and bird species such as woodpigeons, blackbirds, tits and kestrels have settled here.

The Dellwig Gleispark, a very positive example of staging unused wasteland, with lots of great greenery, industrial art, lots of peace and quiet on a large area and great connections to the cycle paths and the canal.

Made with little money from the old railway station a park with lots of ruderal vegetation.
