Hayns Park, Public park in Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany.
Hayns Park is a park on the Alster in Hamburg-Eppendorf, opened to the public in 1931. The Alsterwanderweg runs through it. Its features are a children's splash pool designed by Otto Linne and a Monopteros, a round pavilion on columns. Of the original garden only the Monopteros and some trees remain.
The land was once private property belonging to Hamburg Senator Max Theodor Hayn before being converted to public parkland in 1931. This transformation was part of the larger Alster canalization project that reshaped the river landscape.
The park is named after Senator Max Theodor Hayn, who bought the 27,300-square-metre estate in 1873 and used it as a summer residence with a villa. The Monopteros, the only structure left from that garden, is decorated artistically twice a year.
The park is easy to navigate with pathways suitable for casual walks and visitors of varying mobility levels. Best visited on warm days when the children's splash pool is in operation and the picnic areas are most enjoyable.
The Monopteros, the only structure surviving from Max Theodor Hayn's 1873 summer estate, was closed as unsafe and restored between summer 2016 and April 2019. Since then it has been decorated artistically twice a year, so returning visitors see a different design on each visit.
