Engelsgarten, Urban park and natural monument in Barmen, Germany.

Engelsgarten is a natural monument and urban park in Barmen with various walking paths and rest areas. The grounds feature open lawns, maintained plant beds, and quiet spots for sitting and observing local flora.

The garden takes its name from the Engels family, whose house and the Museum for Early Industrialisation stand at its western edge. The family's former garden trees survive, including a Norway maple, three European beeches, a horse chestnut and a Turkish hazel; the chestnut is a protected natural monument. Friedrich Engels's birthplace, destroyed in the Second World War, stood at the south-eastern edge, where a memorial stone now marks the spot.

The garden's name comes from the Engels family, whose surviving trees include a Norway maple, three copper beeches, a horse chestnut and a Turkish hazel from their former private garden. The horse chestnut is a protected natural monument. In August 2009 Pina Bausch's funeral was shown on a large screen here because the opera house could not seat the mourners.

The garden is split in two: a paved western section with flower beds in front of the Engels-Haus and Museum for Early Industrialisation, and an eastern lawn with a public car park at the opera house. The Friedrich-Engels-Allee runs along the north side, the Wittensteinstraße along the south, and the opera house borders it to the east.

The chestnut tree in the park is protected as a natural monument, and the old trees here — a Norway maple, three European beeches, a horse chestnut and a Turkish hazel — are remnants of the Engels family's former garden. The Friedrich-Engels memorial stone stands at the original site of his birth house, destroyed in World War II.
