Geschwister-Scholl-Park, Cultural heritage park in Alte Neustadt, Germany.
Geschwister-Scholl-Park is a 9-hectare space with walking paths, raised observation areas, and water features throughout its landscaped grounds. Multiple zones connect open lawns with tree-lined routes and several artificial ponds.
The site was formerly Bastion Brunswick, a defensive structure protecting Magdeburg's northwestern gate until 1895, when it was transformed into a garden exhibition. This conversion marked the beginning of the park as it exists today.
The park is named after the Scholl siblings, who resisted Nazi rule during World War II. Bronze plaques at the entrances tell visitors about their courageous actions.
The park is free to visit year-round and offers different routes suited to various abilities and interests. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as some areas are hilly and allow for longer walks.
A replica of the Queen Louise monument, originally erected in 1901 but destroyed in 1963, returned to the park in 2009. This restoration shows how important this landmark is to local memory.
