Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park, Public park in Altenessen district, Essen, Germany
The ten-hectare Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park features extensive lawns, mature trees, walking paths, and recreation areas distributed across multiple landscaped sections.
The park opened in 1897 to mark Kaiser Wilhelm I's 100th birthday, with the municipality purchasing land from farmers Westerdorf and Helbeck for 58,000 Marks.
The park includes a 1980s stone sculpture by Persian artist Oveis Saheb Djawaher, consisting of five-meter-high basalt lava columns surrounded by smaller stones.
Multiple bus and tram lines, including 172, NE1, U11, and U17, connect visitors to the park through the barrier-free Haltestelle Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park station.
A memorial pavilion decorated with graffiti art honoring Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, was established in the park in July 2018.
