Faber Park, Park and architectural heritage monument in Röthenbach bei Schweinau, Nuremberg, Germany

Faber Park is a 27.1-hectare landscape park and forest in Nuremberg's Röthenbach bei Schweinau district, on the border with Stein. It was laid out in 1852/53 by landscape gardener Adolf Wagner as an English-style garden for pencil manufacturer Lothar von Faber, with meadows, wooded areas, bridges, a one-hectare pond and a mausoleum. The park is crossed by the Röthenbacher Landgraben stream.

A pencil manufacturer acquired the land in 1842 and hired a landscape designer to create an English-style garden. The former private estate was eventually transformed into a public forest park managed by the city.

The park's name comes from the pencil manufacturer Lothar von Faber, who was ennobled in 1881 for his role in developing pencil production. His villa, later called the Old Castle, and the Faberschloss stand on the grounds, while a mausoleum and cenotaph commemorate three members of the family known as the pencil kings. The Roland Arch, built as a ruin on an island before 1910, remains a feature visitors can spot.

The park lies in Röthenbach bei Schweinau, bordered by Rednitzstraße to the northwest and the Faber-Castell works to the west; the Röthenbacher Landgraben crosses it. It has been open to the public since 1984, and the city manages it as a near-natural park forest rather than a restored landscape garden. Paths follow the meadows, the one-hectare pond and the wooded sections.

A stream called Röthenbacher Landgraben flows through the grounds and shapes the water experience of the park. This natural waterway became part of what transformed the space from a designed garden into an authentic forest park.
