Did you know?

Klettenbergpark was established on the site of a former 10-meter deep gravel pit, explaining its unique topography.

Guided Story

Imagine standing on what was once a deep gravel pit. Hard to believe, right? Now look around and see how lush greenery and fragrant flower beds have transformed this space. Picture Fritz Encke over a century ago, dreaming up this natural garden from barren ground. If you turn to the northeast, you'll catch a glimpse of St. Bruno's Church, its spires peeking above the trees, reminding you that the city is always close by. In spring, the trees burst into life, and the air fills with birdsong. Come winter, frost blankets the park, offering a serene, almost magical stillness. Take a moment to soak in the tranquility and sense the history embedded in this unique place.
