Volksgarten, Public park in Neustadt-Süd, Germany
The Volksgarten spans 13.9 hectares, featuring a large artificial lake with a 28-meter-high fountain, extensive walking paths, and numerous ancient trees.
Created between 1887 and 1889, the park occupies the former grounds of Fort Paul, constructed by Prussia from 1816 to 1825, with preserved fortress structures.
The Orangerie, a historic building with two attached greenhouses, hosts concerts, films, and theatrical performances throughout the year in its distinctive setting.
Visitors can rent pedal boats at the lake, use designated barbecue areas, enjoy the beer garden, or let children play in the expansive playground.
The hidden rose garden within the park served as a meeting point for resistance groups during the National Socialist period in Germany.
