Bäckeranlage, Public park in Aussersihl district, Zürich, Switzerland.
Description
Bäckeranlage is a green space featuring walking paths, granite paving, and a central water basin located in Zürich's fourth district. The park provides areas for strolling, sitting, and observing the plants and water features throughout its layout.
History
The park was established in 1900 and completely redesigned by the Mertens brothers in 1938 to create a public garden for residents. This transformation shaped how the space looks and functions today.
Culture
The music pavilion here hosts local performances and concerts where neighbors gather regularly. Table tennis tables and open grass areas encourage people to spend time together and enjoy community activities.
Practical
The park sits near Helvetiaplatz and Langstrasse, making it easy to reach on foot. An on-site restaurant serves fresh local products, and the park remains open and accessible throughout the year.
Did you know?
An Alemannic cemetery from the 5th and 6th centuries was discovered at this exact location before the park was built. This archaeological find reveals the deep historical roots of the area.
