Von-Halfern-Park, Cultural heritage garden in Aachen, Germany.
The Von-Halfern-Park extends over 10 hectares with artificial waterways, grottos, temples, towers and recreational facilities near the Aachen city forest.
Friedrich von Halfern, a textile manufacturer and bank director, commissioned city horticultural director Heinrich Grube to create this park in English style after 1875.
The park contains over 130 tree species from three continents, including Amber trees, Araucarias, and Engelmann spruces, reflecting 19th century botanical interests.
The garden offers numerous walking paths, a bowling lane, a bocce court, an archery range, and a small riding arena for outdoor activities.
Friedrich von Halfern attempted to recreate the Norse mythological Yggdrasil tree within the park, selling surplus trees to the nearby Kaiser-Friedrich-Park.
