The Maximilianpark extends across several hectares, featuring gardens, a butterfly house, play areas, and a glass elephant structure rising above the landscape.
The park opened in 1984 on the former grounds of a coal mine, transforming an industrial site into a recreational destination for the local community.
Regular events throughout the year include music concerts, theater performances, and seasonal celebrations that bring together residents and visitors.

North Rhine-Westphalia contains many sites that demonstrate the historical and cultural richness of this German region. Millennia-old geological formations, Roman relics, medieval fortresses, and industrial era monuments reveal different aspects of the regional heritage. These destinations include the Zollverein coal mine industrial complex in Essen, a UNESCO World Heritage site that chronicles the history of the Ruhr area, and the archaeological park in Xanten featuring reconstructions of the Roman city Colonia Ulpia Traiana. The Augustusburg and Falkenlust castles in Brühl showcase 18th-century Rococo architecture, while the rock formations of Externsteine near Horn-Bad Meinberg highlight the geological and spiritual development of the region. Each site offers a unique insight into the history of North Rhine-Westphalia and warrants careful exploration.
