Poensgen Park, Landscaped gardens in Ratingen Mitte, Germany

The 4.5-hectare park contains multiple sections including a former house area, open grasslands with individual trees, and woods along the Anger stream.

Johann Gottfried Brügelmann established the initial garden in 1790, which was later redesigned by Reinhold Hoemann in 1907 following Carl Poensgen's acquisition.

The park represents the architectural reform movement of 1900 through its garden design and former structures, including the Anger House.

Visitors can explore over 120 tree species throughout the park's network of paths, which has remained open to the public since 1977.

The park features a millstone placed by Walter Rohland, commemorating his international travels during the 1955 restoration period.
