Fritz-Henkel-Park, Historical park in Unkel, Germany.

Fritz-Henkel-Park is a green space in Unkel with pathways, flower beds, and mature trees distributed across a substantial area. The park features benches and open sections where visitors can sit or move through the grounds.

Fritz Henkel, second son of Henkel company founder Friedrich Karl Henkel, donated the grounds to Unkel in 1905 on condition they stay a park and the tree stock be kept. Villa Henkel, built there in 1903 by Elisabeth von Werner, was bought by Henkel in 1915 and rebuilt in country-house style in 1927. From 1949 North Rhine-Westphalia rented it as a "Länderhaus" guesthouse for state representatives in Bonn, with 60 rooms and an 80-seat conference hall; the operation closed in autumn 1950, and the villa was demolished in 1960.

From 1949 the state of North Rhine-Westphalia rented Villa Henkel as a "Länderhaus", a temporary home for several state representations to the federal government, furnished for about 170,000 DM with 60 rooms and an 80-seat conference hall. It closed in autumn 1950, and in 1951/52 the villa housed the Peruvian embassy. The park now hosts cultural events and citizens' festivals.

The park is freely accessible and works well for a leisurely walk or sitting on one of the many benches. In good weather, the open areas invite extended visits, while the tree-lined paths provide shade.

After Bonn became the provisional capital in 1949, North Rhine-Westphalia rented Villa Henkel as a "Länderhaus" for state representatives, furnishing it for about 170,000 DM with 60 rooms and an 80-seat conference hall. The Henkel heirs supplied carpets and paintings; the house closed again in autumn 1950.
