Heinz-Erhardt-Park

Heinz-Erhardt-Park is a roughly 2.7 hectare natural green space in Wellingsbüttel featuring mature trees, ferns, and forest fungi connected by marked paths. The space is accessible from three surrounding streets - Pfeilshofer Weg, Rabenhorst, and Saseler Chaussee - offering multiple entry points.

The space was named in 2009 by Hamburg's district assembly to honor Heinz Erhardt, a prominent entertainer who lived in the nearby area for several decades. Erhardt shaped German entertainment culture before departing the neighborhood in 1979.

Stone posts scattered throughout display poems and quotations from Heinz Erhardt's works, inviting visitors to pause and read his words while walking through. This creates a gentle connection between the natural space and the literary legacy of a local figure.

The park is easily reached by the Wellingsbüttel S-Bahn station or bus line 8 stopping at Pfeilshofer Weg, with flat barrier-free paths and wooden benches placed throughout. Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is natural and lightly undulating in places.

Dogs are allowed to roam freely without leashes on the paths, making this an appealing spot for local dog owners. The absence of playground equipment keeps the focus entirely on natural walking and exploration.
