The character was designed in 2001 by the Frankfurt writer, poet, painter, and illustrator Robert Gernhardt. Since Gernhardt's death in 2006, official graphic depictions of the Green Belt Animal have been created by the Frankfurt artist and illustrator Philip Waechter.

A well-developed bike path with everything you need (street lighting, trash cans, etc.). You feel safe here and can even ride fast, as there are no potholes or anything like that.

There are beautifully carved figures and animals, as well as a small bench. However, a carved figure with a lantern is reminiscent of a horror movie.
