Hirschgarten, Historical park in Dornholzhausen, Germany.

The Hirschgarten is a small wildlife park in Dornholzhausen, part of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. Its fenced enclosure holds several species of red deer and goats, and since 1964 the grounds have been divided between the animal area and the visitor area. A minigolf course was added in 1968, and the HirschGarten Restaurant stands on the site.

Landgrave Friedrich II established the garden in 1698. In 1820 Friedrich VI added the deer enclosure, built between 20 November and 9 December using existing planting; its first twelve red deer were a gift from Grand Duke Ludwig I of Hesse. A hunting lodge, the Pürschhäuschen, followed in 1822. From 1840 to 1873 the casino leased hunting rights for 1,800 gulden a year.

The restaurant occupies the 1964 building and serves regional German food, becoming a natural gathering place for visitors passing through. This dining space connects the garden's heritage with contemporary daily life in the area.

Bus lines 1 and 11 terminate at the Hirschgarten, so the park is reached by public transport as well as on foot. Since 1964 the deer area has been separated from the visitor area, so paths no longer run through the enclosure. A few hundred metres below the road to the Hirschgarten, an open forest clearing is released for barbecuing.

The Pürschhäuschen, a small hunting lodge built in 1822, was renovated in 1858 and turned into a public inn. In 1936 it was enlarged by building the new structure around the old listed building, so the original fabric survived inside. The present restaurant dates from 1964.
