Welfengarten, English garden in Nord district, Hanover, Germany.

Welfengarten surrounds the Welfenschloss in Hanover's Nord district, part of the Herrenhausen gardens. Its core is the former baroque garden of Schloss Monbrillant, laid out in 1720 by Ernst August Charbonnier with a rectangular moat ending in an apse and a strict central axis. From 1843 to 1846 Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves converted it into an English landscape garden; one of his two pedestrian bridges still crosses the old moat.

The garden began in 1720 as a baroque design by Ernst August Charbonnier for Schloss Monbrillant, built in 1717 for Count von Platen. Between 1843 and 1846, court architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves transformed it into an English landscape garden and added two footbridges over the moat; one bridge survives. The castle was demolished in 1857 and replaced by the Welfenschloss, built 1857–1866, which became the Technical University in 1879.

The grounds contain the main building of Leibniz University Hanover, blending classrooms and lecture halls with open green spaces where students walk between classes. This mix of university life and nature shapes the everyday character of the place.

The garden can be accessed through several entrances along Nienburger Strasse with direct connections to public transportation. The paths are well signposted and easy to navigate on foot or by bicycle.

The bronze horse in front of the university, set up in 1879, was designed by Albert Wolff in 1866 after his own Lion Fighter group at Berlin's Altes Museum; it is read as the Saxon Steed of Lower Saxony's coat of arms.
