Willy-Spahn-Park, Public park in Ahlem district, Hannover, Germany.
Willy-Spahn-Park is a public park in Hannover built on the site of a former limestone quarry. The grounds feature terraced slopes, fruit trees, and natural vegetation areas that create varied walking routes across the terrain.
The site functioned as a limestone quarry from 1850 until 1938, when the Spahn family bought the land and began planting fruit trees. A kiln dating to 1925 stands as a reminder of the area's industrial past.
The park is named after Willy Spahn, an orchard owner whose family transformed the former quarry site into a productive fruit garden. Visitors can still see how this heritage shapes the layout and plantings throughout the grounds.
Walking paths throughout the park are flat and accessible for visitors with limited mobility. The site is easy to reach by public transit, with a stop very close to the park entrance.
The kiln building once produced fresh fruit juice and lemonade from the orchard harvest, sold directly on site. This small operation reveals how the Spahn family used the entire property as a working agricultural enterprise.
