Hirschpark, Landscape garden in Nienstedten, Hamburg, Germany

Hirschpark is a 24.5-hectare landscape garden on the Elbe slope in Nienstedten, half of it beech woodland. Its 30-metre-high riverbank slope drops to the Elbe, and a winding path system links open meadows, tree groups and solitary oaks and sycamores. Near the tennis court stands a roughly 270-year-old sycamore, and the thatched Kavaliershaus, once home to writer Hans Henny Jahnn, now serves as Gasthaus Witthüs.

The estate was acquired in 1786 by merchant Jean Cesar Godeffroy, who made it the largest property in the region. The land later transformed into a public park and opened to the public in 1927.

The park's name comes from the fallow deer enclosure laid out in 1860 by Cesar Godeffroy. The district office closed it in January 2026 for animal welfare reasons, so no deer remain; waterfowl and peacocks can still be seen. Until 1896 the grounds were called Godeffroy's Park, then Wriedt's Park, and only after Blankenese took over around 1924 did the name Hirschpark stick.

The park is best reached by S-Bahn lines S1 or S21 to Blankenese station, followed by a 15-minute walk to the entrance. Free street parking is available nearby, making arrival by car convenient as well.

A single maple tree growing here has been designated as a nationally protected heritage tree and is approximately 270 years old. This rare status recognizes its historical value and importance to local heritage.
