Dichtergarten

The Dichtergarten is a cultural park in Munich's Maxvorstadt district featuring winding paths that navigate natural hills and mature trees. The interconnected walkways link different elevations across the grounds, creating a landscape shaped by topography.

Originally called the Finanzgarten, the site took its present name after monuments to poets and artists were added to its grounds. The transformation into a park landscape occurred gradually through tree planting and pathway development over the 20th century.

The park features monuments to creative figures like Chopin, Tyutchev, and Heine set throughout its green spaces. These statues encourage visitors to reflect on the artists commemorated within the garden's natural setting.

The park is accessible from the main entrance at Galeriestraße 1 but offers multiple entry points for flexibility when planning your route. Shaded areas beneath tall trees are plentiful, making it comfortable to visit even during warmer periods.

A statue of Confucius was installed in 2007 to mark the long-standing partnership between Bavaria and China's Shandong province. This monument demonstrates how the garden has grown through international cultural connections.
