Freizeitpark Ittertal, Cultural heritage site in Solingen, Germany
The Freizeitpark Ittertal extends on both sides of the Itter River, featuring a restaurant building, water carousel, pond, animal enclosure, and fairy tale forest.
Originally opened in 1898 as Ittertaler Volksgarten by restaurateur Friedrich Weck, the park served as a restaurant with gardens and a boating pond.
The fairy tale forest contains twelve wooden huts arranged according to the topography, displaying scenes from traditional German fairy tales with various props.
The main building, constructed between 1897 and 1898, includes a restaurant area and a hall addition from 1899, with capacity for up to 1,000 guests.
The water carousel, installed in 1907, represents possibly the oldest operational water carousel in Germany, receiving official approval on October 30, 1907.
