Schweizergarten, Public park in Landstrasse district, Vienna, Austria
Schweizergarten is a public park in the Landstrasse district featuring ponds with rock formations, fountains, and an alpine garden. The grounds showcase varied vegetation and natural features distributed across a spacious landscape.
The park was established in 1904 as Maria Josefa Park and renamed in 1919 to honor Swiss humanitarian assistance after World War I. This name change reflects how international support shaped post-war Vienna.
The 'La Note Bleue' monument honors composer Chopin and reflects his connection to Vienna. Visitors walking through can experience this musical tribute embedded in the park's landscape.
The park provides multiple playgrounds, fitness equipment, sports fields, and two dog zones for visitors with pets. These facilities are distributed across the grounds, making it easy to locate activities suited to different interests.
A silver metallic column by Viennese artist Heinrich Deutsch commemorates the founding of Austria's Second Republic. This sculpture is easy to overlook while walking, yet it marks a pivotal moment in Austrian history.
