Volkspark Oberaue, Public park in Jena, Germany
Volkspark Oberaue combines three connected green areas: Rasenmühleninsel, Paradies, and Oberaue, alongside the Saale River in central Jena.
The park development started in 1893 with sports facilities, and received significant funding from physician Moritz Seidel who dedicated his fortune to create this public space.
Students and residents participated in the 1950s national construction program to establish this park, which received cultural heritage monument status in 2002.
The park features a children's playground, skate facilities, slackline equipment, chess tables, barbecue spots, and the longest public table in Jena.
A notable protest concert against extremism took place in 2011, gathering 50,000 people with performances by German musicians Udo Lindenberg and Peter Maffay.
