Wandsbeker Gehölz, Public park in Marienthal district, Hamburg, Germany

The Wandsbeker Gehölz extends over 26 hectares, featuring streams, ponds, and marshes along with mature oak and beech trees throughout the landscape.

The land belonged to a grand estate with a castle built between 1772 and 1778 by Heinrich Carl Graf von Schimmelmann, the Danish finance minister.

A memorial stone from 1840 honors Matthias Claudius, editor of Der Wandsbeker Bothe, recognized as the first German public newspaper.

The park includes multiple playgrounds, sports fields with soccer goals, and numerous benches positioned near the ponds for visitors to rest.

A sandstone vase from 1757, brought by Schimmelmann, stands in the park as a testament to its aristocratic past.
