Wilhelm-Külz-Park, Heritage park in Thonberg district, Leipzig, Germany.

Wilhelm-Külz-Park is a 22-hectare park of roughly triangular shape between the Old Trade Fair Grounds and the Völkerschlachtdenkmal, on Thonberg land but administered by Probstheida. The Straße des 18. Oktober, Richard-Lehmann-Straße, Friedhofsweg and An der Tabaksmühle cut it into four sections. Curving paths lead through meadows and groups of trees.

The park was laid out from 1905 north of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal construction site, planned by Leipzig garden director Carl Hampel (1849–1930); it was first called Denkmalspark and popularly Amselpark. In 1913 its northern section hosted the Internationale Baufach-Ausstellung with a model village and amusement park. It was later renamed after the liberal politician Wilhelm Külz (1875–1948).

The cultural venue on Friedhofsweg is run by the Mehrweg association and, echoing its large neighbour, is called "WolkenSchachLenkWal". It holds a children's and youth library, a gallery with changing photo and painting shows, and a museum room full of toys, and hosts events.

The park features walking and cycling paths that connect different areas, with multiple entry points available for visitors. Be aware that certain events require permits and that muddy conditions may occur after heavy rain.

Red oak trees are planted in three rows along October 18th Street, creating a symmetrical avenue that aligns visually with the Monument to the Battle of Nations nearby. This tree-lined arrangement connects the park grounds to the neighboring monument in an intentional way.
