Blohms Park, Heritage park in Horn, Germany
Blohms Park is a heritage park in Hamburg with gently rolling lawns, numerous large shade trees, and a circular path around its perimeter. The grounds are shaped by several ancient trees, including a double blood beech and an oak with a notably thick trunk.
Hans de Hertoghe, a member of a Mennonite family fleeing persecution from the Spanish Netherlands, acquired the land in 1630. The private estate eventually transformed into this public park, which serves as a place of rest and remembrance for Hamburg residents.
A stone lion statue that once stood at Heinrich von Ohlendorff's residence was placed beneath an ancient oak in the 1960s. The sculpture connects this space to the lives of prominent Hamburg families and their estates.
The park is accessible from several parking areas and provides easy access to nearby walking routes. Its location allows you to connect to the Bunker Museum Hamburg and St. Nicolai Kirche if you wish to explore further.
The park is home to an oak tree recognized as the oldest tree in Horn, with a notably thick trunk that has grown over centuries. This ancient tree stands as a silent witness to the long history of this place.
