Stadtpark Bochum

The 31-hectare garden features lakes with fountains, rose gardens, dahlia sections, rhododendron areas, and numerous old deciduous trees throughout its varied landscape.

Established in 1869, this park marked the first publicly funded municipal garden in the Ruhr region, initially covering 13 hectares in an east-west valley.

Modern sculptures by artists Vesely and Richard Serra stand among the gardens, while the Bismarck Tower provides panoramic views from its 33-meter height.

The park includes a water playground, a restaurant in the traditional Parkhaus, and remains open year-round for public recreation and leisure activities.

The park contains over 200 different tree and shrub species, including rare international deciduous varieties that create distinct seasonal displays.
