Lahey-Park, Public park in Erkelenz, Germany
The Lahey Park extends between Kückhoven and Holzweiler villages, featuring diverse biotopes, walking paths, and dedicated spaces for recreation and gatherings.
Beginning in the 1960s, a passionate gardener transformed a former landfill site into this park through manual reclamation work and botanical development.
The park includes a reconstruction of a Neolithic farmhouse and a replica of the Kückhoven well from 5090 BC, considered the oldest wooden well worldwide.
The park contains various rental facilities for private and public events, with a support association organizing cultural activities and guided tours for school groups.
Despite initial plans for demolition due to brown coal mining at Garzweiler, changes in mining plans preserved the park, which now stands as an abandoned location.
