Forstbaumschule, Public park in Duesternbrook, Kiel, Germany
Forstbaumschule is a large park with open meadows, varied tree specimens, and numerous pathways winding through its English landscape garden design. The grounds include a restaurant with beer garden, a concert shell, and several pavilion structures alongside the green spaces.
The site began in 1785 as a forestry training school under Danish rule and became a public park when the City of Kiel acquired it in 1874. This transformation shaped its current use and character.
The restaurant building and concert shell define the park's character and remain protected as cultural monuments. Visitors can see how these structures anchor the social life and gatherings that happen here.
The park is easily walkable with multiple paths for different preferences and fitness levels. The restaurant and beer garden offer year-round options for a break or refreshment.
The park preserves several non-native tree species from its days as a training school, including a giant sequoia and North American oak varieties. These botanical rarities are reminders of its former educational purpose and remain uncommon tree stands in the region.
