Gossler Park, Heritage park in Blankenese, Germany

Gossler Park is a public park on the Krähenberg in Blankenese, north of Blankeneser Landstraße. Its grounds go back to an English landscape garden laid out from 1790 for the merchant Joseph Blacker. On the hill stands the Goßlerhaus, a white mansion with numerous columns built in 1901 by Martin Haller for John Henry Goßler, after a fire destroyed the earlier country house on the same spot. Park and mansion are listed as heritage monuments.

The site was created at the end of the 18th century as an English landscape garden by a merchant and later became the private estate of a prominent banking family. This family took over the property and eventually gave it their surname, which remains its name today.

The park is named after John Henry Goßler, the merchant who owned the estate and commissioned the Goßlerhaus in 1901. The name recalls the Gossler hanseatic banking family of Hamburg. Since 1924 the grounds have belonged to the public, bought with a loan from the Prussian provincial government of Schleswig-Holstein and repaid by selling the north-eastern section, where the villa quarter on the street Goßlers Park now stands.

The park lies near Blankenese station and offers multiple entry points that allow visitors to explore from different directions. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the ground is hilly in places and some paths climb steeply.

The Goßlerhaus that stands on the hill today dates from 1901, built by architect Martin Haller for John Henry Goßler. It replaced an 1794 country house by Christian F. Hansen for John Blaker, which burned down completely the same year. The white colonnaded mansion and the park are both listed as heritage monuments.
