Auer-Welsbach-Park, Public park in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Austria
Auer-Welsbach-Park is a large green space in Vienna's 6th district located opposite the Museum of Technology and adjacent to Schönbrunn underground station. The grounds feature sports courts, play areas, fitness stations, and various rest zones for different visitors.
The park was established in 1890 as an English-style garden with the original name Schönbrunner Vorpark to contrast with the baroque gardens of Schönbrunn Palace. Over time, the site was expanded and equipped with modern recreational facilities to meet the needs of the growing neighborhood.
The park features two stoneware figures named Sarah and Johanna created by Charlotte Seidl that represent the bond between people and nature in the city. These sculptures serve as gathering spots where visitors naturally pause and spend time.
The site is easily accessible on foot or by underground and offers areas for playing, exercising, and relaxing. Visitors should note that different zones are used at different times of day, so timing your visit according to your interests can enhance the experience.
A former children's swimming pool area has transformed into a wild natural space where local wildlife thrives undisturbed. This quiet retreat offers a sharp contrast to the active sports zones nearby.
