Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle sound of the fountain? It's a calming presence here in the Stadtgarten, bringing a sense of life to the park. If you look around, you'll notice the towering trees standing like silent guardians of history. Did you know this park was once a hospital garden? Imagine patients finding peace and healing here while the city evolved around them. As you walk further, you'll come across the old Protestant cemetery, Güldenplan, integrated into the park after the war. These gravestones whisper stories of the past, adding a unique atmosphere. In spring, the park bursts into a vibrant sea of colors that you really shouldn't miss. Take a moment, sit on a bench, and soak in the tranquility right in the heart of the city.
