Wittelsbacher Park

Wittelsbacher Park spans 18 hectares, featuring tree-lined paths, open grass areas, artificial lake with fountain, and multiple children's playgrounds.

The site transformed from Thennsche Garden Estate into a public park in 1885, receiving its current name in 1906 after Bavaria's Wittelsbach dynasty.

The Rudolf-Diesel-Gedächtnishain Japanese rock garden, established in 1957, contains stone blocks from Japan's Inagawa River to honor the diesel engine inventor.

The park includes a sledding hill, several recreational spaces for sports activities, and connects directly to the Congress Hall and Hotel Tower.

Between 1944 and 2001, the park contained underground bunker tunnels designed to protect 1,200 people during World War II air raids.
