Abtnaundorfer Park, Public park in Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf, Leipzig, Germany

Abtnaundorfer Park is a 15.8-hectare landscape park in Leipzig's Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf district, bounded on the north and west by the Parthe river. An irregular path network crosses woods and open meadows, and at its centre lies a 5,200 m² pond with a 590 m² island, the Liebesinsel, carrying a roofless Monopteros. A column stump and the arched bridge over the Parthe survive from the former park architecture.

Traugott Thomasius (1709–1775), a Leipzig consistory assessor, acquired the Abtnaundorf manor in 1752 and began laying out a park in Baroque forms. In 1789 it passed to the banker Christian Gottlob Frege II (1747–1816), who had the grounds redesigned in the English style after the example of Wörlitz; it stayed in the family until 1916. The 1813 Battle of Leipzig left the manor house intact but badly damaged the park, and repairs took some 20 years.

The name comes from the village of Abtnaundorf, not from a family. Under Christian Gottlob Frege II the park was modelled on Wörlitz in the English style, with a bathing house, a Japanese pavilion with orangery and open-air bowling alley, and a pavilion on an arched bridge. Frege let "every well-mannered man" view the grounds; Franz Bösching described such a visit in 1801, with engravings by Johann Gottlieb Böttger.

The park lies west of Abtnaundorf, bounded by the Parthe to the north and west and by Abtnaundorfer Straße to the east; the path along the river is part of the Parthe-Mulde cycle route. The grounds around the Schloss are private and not open to the public. The rest belongs to the city of Leipzig and is freely accessible on foot.

The round temple on the 590 m² island, called Liebesinsel, lost its Fregestein in 1988; in 1991 Leipzig sculptor Markus Gläser, born 1960, placed a female figure there. The island lies in a 5,200 m² pond fed by two ditches from the Parthe. In 2007 Franziska Möbius made the installation "Doppelt hell an dunklen Ufern" for the pond, which lasted only a few years.
