Hofgarten, University park in central Bonn, Germany.
The Hofgarten extends across seven hectares between Bonn city center and Südstadt district, featuring tree-lined paths and expansive grass areas.
The garden originated in the mid-18th century as part of the Electoral Palace grounds, following French design principles with terraces and lime tree avenues.
The park contains the Academic Art Museum, housed in a building designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1820, displaying classical antiquities collections.
The park remains open throughout the year with no entrance fee, offering wheelchair-accessible paths and restroom facilities in the university building.
Between 1945 and 1947, the Hofgarten meadow functioned as a transit camp where 145,779 released prisoners of war received assistance.
