Engelenschanze

Engelenschanze, Urban park in Münster, Germany.

Engelenschanze is a green space in Münster's southwestern centre, split in two by the road linking Servatiiplatz and Ludgeriplatz. The northwestern part keeps a remnant of the old moat and a copper beech from the second half of the 18th century, and holds George Rickey's kinetic sculpture "Drei rotierende Quadrate". The southeastern tip, once a car park, was remodelled in the early 2000s to match the other half.

The site began as a 17th-century fortification that was part of Münster's defenses. It was later converted into green space as the city removed its fortifications and underwent modernization.

The name honours Johann Joseph Engelen, who bought the former Johannisschanze in 1776 and from 1781 had a manor house and garden laid out here; his son-in-law was Maximilian-Friedrich von Droste zu Hülshoff. Since 1975 the kinetic sculpture "Drei rotierende Quadrate" by US artist George Rickey has stood in the north-western part, and its installation met with fierce resistance from the population.

The green area is split in two by the road linking Servatiiplatz and Ludgeriplatz, so cross at the marked points. The northwestern part holds the pond remnant and the Rickey sculpture; the southeastern tip, a car park until the early 2000s, is now laid out like the older section.

The kinetic sculpture "Drei rotierende Quadrate" by American artist George Rickey has stood in the park since 1975; its installation met with fierce resistance from the local population at the time.
