Wolfskehl’scher Park, Municipal park in Bessungen, Germany

Wolfskehl'scher Park is a terraced park on the Galgenberg in Bessungen, between the city centre and the outskirts. Old trees, benches and paths run across the slope, with a playground, a Waldorf kindergarten and a copy of the Darmstadtia sculpture. A small sledding run lies on the western slope.

The park takes its name from the Wolfskehl family, for whom architect Gustav Jacobi built a Gründerzeit villa on the Galgenberg in 1895/96. The villa was destroyed in World War II; only the Biedermeier-style tea house on the north side survived. The park passed into municipal ownership in the 1950s.

The tea house in Biedermeier style on the north side is the only surviving building from the original estate. It reflects the taste and lifestyle of the wealthy family who once lived here.

The park is easy to walk through with multiple pathways and offers play opportunities for children plus a sledding slope during winter months. Benches are scattered across the terraced areas, providing visitors with several places to rest.

The Galgenberg hillside once carried vines, and around 1900 plans were drawn for a recreation park with a drinking pavilion dispensing Germany's best-known medicinal waters, an open-air amphitheatre, a retirement home and a small vivarium. None of these projects was realised.
