Hayns Park

Hayns Park extends over 4.8 hectares along the Alster River, featuring old trees, meadows, walking paths, and a Greek-style pavilion called Monopteros.

The land belonged to Hamburg Senator Max Theodor Hayn until 1931, when it was converted into a public park during the Alster canalization project.

The Monopteros pavilion serves as a performance venue where string quartets present classical music for park visitors throughout the season.

The park includes a children's splash pool filled daily with fresh water, playgrounds, and designated areas for picnics and barbecues near the boathouse.

The neighboring Eppendorfer Mühlenteich pond functions as winter quarters for Hamburg's 200 Alster swans, maintained by a dedicated caretaker called Schwanenvater.
