Volkshain Stünz, Heritage park in Anger-Crottendorf, Leipzig, Germany.

Volkshain Stünz is a park of just over eleven hectares in Anger-Crottendorf, bounded by the Östliche Rietzschke stream to the east and north, the Engelsdorf–Connewitz railway embankment to the west and allotment gardens to the south. Broad meadows alternate with groups of trees and single specimens, and the paths curve generously except for the straight main avenue toward Mölkau and the north–south Pflaumenallee. A 9,500 m² pond lies in the western part.

The grounds were designed in 1894 by Carl Otto Wittenberg to create a recreation space in a rapidly growing district. This project took shape during a period of fast population growth in eastern Leipzig and served as a green counterbalance to urban density.

The name Volkshain reflects its purpose as a gathering place for local residents. Today it remains a green space where neighbors come to spend time outdoors and enjoy nature together.

The park is bounded by the Östliche Rietzschke stream to the east and north, the Engelsdorf–Connewitz railway embankment to the west, and allotment gardens to the south. A straight main avenue leads toward Mölkau, while the Pflaumenallee runs north–south. The pond in the western section is used for angling, and a playground with a climbing combination and sand area lies in the eastern part.

The Apelstein No. 43 beside the pond is one of the stones marking stations of the 1813 Battle of the Nations. It records that an East Prussian Landwehr battalion rested here before the storming of Leipzig. The park's tree stock mostly dates from its founding era, including a white oak with irregularly lobed leaves that turn wine-red in autumn.
