Maschpark, Public park in Mitte, Hanover, Germany.
Description
Maschpark is a green space south of Hanover's old town covering about 10 hectares and featuring a central pond called Maschteich with water lilies and a rocky peninsula. The park provides multiple walking paths, seasonal flower displays, and benches throughout its grounds.
History
The park was created in 1913 on former floodplain land of the Leine and Ihme rivers and was Hanover's first municipal green space project. This development marked the start of systematic urban greening in the city.
Culture
The pathways here are named after Hanover's partner cities such as Hiroshima, Bristol, and Leipzig, making the city's international connections visible as you walk. This naming choice turns the park into a living map of global relationships.
Practical
The park is best explored on foot with numerous easily walkable paths and benches scattered throughout for resting. Some areas have limited wheelchair access, so it is advisable to stick to the main routes.
Did you know?
The grounds feature unusual tree species such as American red oaks, silver maples, magnolias, and tulip trees arranged in a garden-like layout. This botanical variety makes the space worth visiting for those interested in discovering less common species.
