Wildpark im Grafenberger Wald, Wildlife park in Düsseldorf, Germany

Wildpark im Grafenberger Wald is a nature reserve in a woodland setting that displays native animals such as deer, wild boars, and mouflons in their natural surroundings. The park features different areas where visitors can observe the animals roaming freely.

The park was laid out in 1927 on 10 hectares and held fallow deer and roe deer. It was closed in 1944, then enlarged to 30 hectares and reopened in 1953; later it reached its present 36 hectares. On 12 December 1944 a British Avro Lancaster bomber crashed in the park, and since 5 April 2017 a memorial plaque at the Lindenplätzchen marks the site.

The nature school within the park offers visitors a chance to learn about local wildlife and habitats through interactive exhibits and displays. You can experience how education connects with nature in this woodland setting.

The park is easily accessible on foot with clear signage so visitors can navigate independently. Food for feeding the animals can be purchased from dispensers throughout the park, and the paths are relatively flat for a comfortable walk.

On 12 December 1944 a British Avro Lancaster bomber crashed in the park. Between 2008 and 2014 volunteer archaeologists from the LVR-Amt für Bodendenkmalpflege im Rheinland examined and documented the crash site, and on 5 April 2017 a memorial plaque was placed at the Lindenplätzchen, close to where the aircraft came down.
