Wallanlagen

The Wallanlagen is an English-style garden in Würzburg with winding paths, tree groupings, and open grassy areas. The park extends along the former city walls and connects different neighborhoods together.

The site originated in 1878 as an urban planning project when the old city wall was transformed into a park. With its completion in 1886, Würzburg created one of the earliest major green belts in Germany.

The site reflects 19th-century garden culture and shows how cities wanted to connect residents with green spaces at that time. Its design follows the English style, which was very popular in Germany back then and continues to shape its appearance today.

The park is accessible from several sides and features paved paths for pedestrians, joggers, and cyclists. The flat terrain makes it easy to walk at any time of year.

The design incorporates the structure of the dismantled city fortification and transforms former defenses into subtle hills and terrain features. Visitors notice that the park is not simply flat but has gentle elevation changes that tell this story.
