Focke-Garten

Focke-Garten is a museum garden in central Bremen spanning approximately 4.5 hectares across multiple terraced areas connected by brick walls and steps. The grounds feature diverse plant species, sculptures, and distinctly shaped garden sections that organize the space.

The site originally held a poorhouse built between 1696 and 1698, which was later converted into the Focke Museum. It was damaged in 1944 and subsequently restored, now functioning as a public garden.

The garden is named after the Focke Museum and displays various artworks that visitors encounter while strolling through the grounds. The sculptures and the historical sundial design shape how the place looks and invites people to pause and observe.

The garden can be visited free of charge at any time, even when the museum building is closed. Seating areas and picnic spots are available throughout the grounds for visitor comfort.

An oak tree over 350 years old grows within the grounds, ranking among the city's oldest living trees. Beside it stand giant sequoias, evidence of the exotic plants that Bremen's merchants brought back from their travels.
