Dornbusch (Frankfurt Am Main)
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 ...

Dornbusch (Hiddensee)
The Dornbusch is a region of low rolling hills in the northern part of the German Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee. It consists mainly of ice age depositions, that were left behind after the glacier thawed. It is one of three island cores of the Hiddensee responsible for the emergence of the lowland. The Dornbusch measures about 2.45 kilometres from north to south and about 2.85 kilometres from east to west. Its highest point, at 72 metres above sea level, is the ''Schluckswiekberg'', on which the Dornbusch Lighthouse, the symbol of Hiddensee, stands. With much of its cliffed coast still active it represents an important landscape in the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park and is part of protection zone II. Numerous footpaths run through its varied countryside. History The formation of the uplands goes back to the last glaciation phase in northern Germany, the Weichselian. The Dornbusch was created about 12,500 years ago by a small finger of the ice front that left its ma ...
