Schweizergarten, Public park in Landstrasse district, Vienna, Austria

Schweizergarten is a public park in Vienna's Landstrasse district, with ponds, rock formations, fountains, and an alpine garden. The grounds also include playgrounds, sports fields, fitness equipment, and two dedicated dog zones.

The park was laid out in 1905/1906 on ground the military kept free of buildings in front of the Arsenal, and was named Maria-Josefa-Park after Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife of Archduke Otto. Mayor Karl Lueger opened it on 5 June 1906 without the namesake present. In 1920, after World War I, the Red Vienna administration renamed it Schweizergarten in gratitude for Swiss aid to the needy population of Vienna.

The park's name, adopted in 1920 by the Social Democratic city government, thanks Switzerland for the aid it sent to Vienna's population after World War I. The grounds were laid out as an English landscape garden and already featured an alpine plant garden and rock formations with water fountains.

The park is accessible from several sides and easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The grounds are spread out, so it is worth walking around to discover the different areas, as playgrounds, sports fields, and rest spots are scattered throughout.

The Staatsgründungsdenkmal, made by sculptor Heinrich Deutsch with architect Berthold Gabriel, marks the founding of the Second Republic in 1945. It was restored in 2015. Nearby, a monument to Rudolf Steiner forms a thematic unit with the planting directly around it.
