Echelmeyerpark, Public park in St. Johann district of Saarbrücken, Germany.
Description
Echelmeyerpark is a public green space in the St. Johann district with open grassy areas, several paths for walking, and mature trees spread throughout the grounds. The layout offers plenty of room for strolling and resting in shaded spots.
History
The land was first laid out as a cemetery in 1846 and then converted into a public park in 1923 after St. Michael Church was built. This transformation opened the grounds to everyone in the community.
Culture
The former chapel at the center catches visitors' attention with its classical columns and is locally called the Temple by those who frequent the grounds. Memorials nearby honor those from past conflicts.
Practical
The park has several benches scattered along its paths and a playground for children in the central area. The eastern edge meets Kantstraße and the southern edge meets Schumannstraße, which helps with orientation when visiting.
Did you know?
In 2017, a tissue tree was planted in the park as a gesture of solidarity with refugees. This living memorial represents a community moment that brought together people with a shared purpose.
