Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle rustle of the leaves in the breeze? This isn't just any park you're standing in. Look around and imagine how August Schumacher designed this space back in the 1930s. In times of great change, this place was chosen as a symbol of peace. Walk a little further, and you'll find the memorial, a monument to remembrance and hope. In spring, the air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers, while in autumn, the colorful leaves create a vivid display. If you turn south, you'll catch a glimpse of the Louis-Baare-Berufskolleg, another historical witness of this site. Take a moment to soak in the tranquility that this park offers.
