Barmer Anlagen

The park spans 300 hectares across three distinct sections, featuring ponds, meadows, and forest areas connected by numerous walking paths and trails.

The landscape garden was designed in 1864 by royal garden director Joseph Clemens Weyhe, transforming the southern hills of Barmen into organized green spaces.

Multiple monuments and memorial stones throughout the park document the history of Barmen's citizens and their contributions to the community's development.

The Toelleturm observation tower, located at the highest point of the park at 330 meters above sea level, opens for visitors during summer months.

The park remains Germany's second-largest private yet publicly accessible green space, maintained by the Barmer Verschönerungsverein through membership fees and donations.
