Bürgerpark Hafeninsel

The nine-hectare Bürgerpark Hafeninsel extends along the Saar River, featuring gardens, pathways, old trees, and water elements beneath a concrete bridge.

Originally a coal harbor since the 17th century, the site transformed into a park between 1985 and 1989 through an ecological urban renewal project.

The central roundel in the park functions as an outdoor stage for music performances, where terraced seating ensures clear views for all attendees.

The park includes a boules court, a skate facility with a half-pipe, numerous small meadows, and walking paths that remain accessible throughout the year.

A water wall system pumps and cascades water across multiple levels, functioning as both an oxygenation mechanism and a sound barrier against highway noise.
