Where Bad Vilbel once emerged, the Nidda had a natural ford, making it possible to cross the river there. <\/p>\n<p>Many trades depended on the course of the river and settled here. The Nidda provided people with fresh fish and served as a transport route. In winter the river often froze over, and the cut ice was used to cool cellars \u2013 especially those of brewers.  <\/p>\n<p>After tanning, the river also served the tanners for washing their leather and hides. The tanners had to rinse their foul-smelling hides after tanning in the flowing waters of the Nidda.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]To do so, they held the hides on a hook in the river. If they didn\u2019t pay attention for a moment, the hides would float away from them \u2013 an expression we still use today. <\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t popular: tanning heavily polluted the water and spread foul smells.<\/p>\n<p>The Tanners\u2019 Fountain commemorates this riverside trade. Today it\u2019s a cosy little gem for pausing and enjoying. In Gerberpark, sporty activities await.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\t\t\t<!-- START Lohgerber REVOLUTION SLIDER 6.7.35 --><p class=\"rs-p-wp-fix\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<rs-module-wrap id=\"rev_slider_19_1_wrapper\" data-source=\"gallery\" style=\"visibility:hidden;background:transparent;padding:0;margin:0px auto;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<rs-module id=\"rev_slider_19_1\" style=\"\" data-version=\"6.7.35\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slides style=\"overflow: hidden; position: absolute;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slide style=\"position: absolute;\" data-key=\"rs-89\" data-title=\"Slide\" data-in=\"o:0;\" data-out=\"a:false;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/viltour.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/sr6\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"Eine idyllische Parkszene mit zwei Holzb\u00e4nken an einem kleinen Wasserspiel, umgeben von gr\u00fcnen B\u00e4umen und violetten Blumen, neben einem gepflasterten Weg an einem sonnigen Tag \u2013 perfekt zum Wandern in der N\u00e4he von Frankfurt.\" title=\"Viltour Web_Gerberpark-1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"rev-slidebg tp-rs-img rs-lazyload\" data-lazyload=\"\/\/viltour.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Viltour-Web_Gerberpark-1.jpg\" data-no-retina>\n<!---->\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slide style=\"position: absolute;\" data-key=\"rs-90\" data-title=\"Slide\" data-in=\"o:0;\" data-out=\"a:false;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/viltour.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/sr6\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"\u00dcber einem Springbrunnen, aus dem Wasser flie\u00dft, steht eine Bronzestatue, die eine Person darstellt, die einen Baumstamm s\u00e4gt.
