Guided Story

Can you feel the gentle breeze on your face? It's as if the park is softly sharing its stories. If you look to the northwest, you might spot the silhouette of the Leipzig-Probstheida Water Tower, quietly observing over the years. This park was once a sand pit, imagine that! It slowly transformed into the lush greenery surrounding you now. In spring, crocuses bloom, and in autumn, the leaves become a vibrant tapestry. Why not take a seat on one of the benches and soak in the fresh scent of the earth? You might even sense the whispers of the St. Pauli University Church that once stood here.
