Dornbusch (literally: thornbush) is a quarter of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is part of the Ortsbezirk Mitte-Nord. There are three U-Bahn stations in Dornbusch: from south to north "Dornbusch" (Thornbush), "Fritz-Tarnow-Straße" (Fritz-Tarnow-Street) and "Hügelstraße" (Hill Street), served by lines U1 (Frankfurt Süd → Ginnheim), U2 (Frankfurt Süd → Bad Homburg-Gonzenheim), U3 (Frankfurt Süd → Oberursel-Hohemark) & U8 (Frankfurt Süd → Riedberg). Although the stations are called U-Bahn stations (Untergrundbahn = underground train), all of them are located above ground in the middle of Eschersheimer Landstraße (Eschersheim Country Road). The U-Bahn tracks cannot be crossed except at the stations, and hence divide Dornbusch into a western and an eastern part. The U-Bahn enters the tunnel between the stations "Dornbusch" and "Miquel-/Adickesallee" (Miquel-/Adickes Avenue), the first station located underground.
