Rotehornpark

Rotehornpark is a large green space on an Elbe island in Magdeburg with designed gardens, lakes, and areas for walking and relaxing. The grounds combine open water, pathways, meadows, and tree stands that create a varied landscape across the terrain.

The site began development in 1870 when Magdeburg purchased meadow land on the island and hired a landscape designer to create a plan. Over decades the area expanded with lakes and structures that shaped it into what it is today.

The park serves as a gathering space where locals stroll, cycle, and spend time by the water throughout the year. The Bauhaus exhibition hall from 1927 shows how modern design was woven into public space and continues to shape the area's character.

The grounds are accessible by multiple bridges and tram lines, with ferry service from nearby areas. Parking is available along the western riverbank, making it easy to reach different sections on foot.

A tall stone tower with an observation platform rises above the park and offers wide views across the city and river. Visitors can reach the top by climbing stairs or taking an elevator.
