Garten des Himmlischen Friedens

This guide to the Garten des Himmlischen Friedens in Frankfurt opens with its name, which reads peace, and the year it was given: 1989. It follows sixteen Chinese craftsmen who sailed over with containers of granite, marble and pine to build what first opened as a friendship garden, and how the events in Beijing that same June turned this quiet corner of a German park into a memorial that could never have stood inside China itself. Near the pond, look for a bronze cluster of five goats, copied from a granite original in Frankfurt's sister city of Guangzhou.
