Weimarhallenpark, Public park in Weimar, Germany.
Weimarhallenpark is a public park in Weimar with maintained paths, gardens, and a central pond surrounded by a baroque wall. The space spans several acres combining open lawns with planted areas and scenic walkways.
The green space began in the 15th century as a ducal tree garden. It later came under the ownership of merchant Friedrich Justin Bertuch during the Goethe era.
The park hosts a classical open-air concert every year in early July, for which a stage is built on the pond. In the former gardener's house at Asbachstraße 1, the Eigenheim gallery shows contemporary art and hosts readings, discussions and concerts; it began in 2006 as a student project and now also has a Berlin branch.
The park lies in Weimar's northern suburb behind the Bertuchhaus, between Schwanseestraße, Bad Hersfelder Straße and Asbachstraße. The pond with its baroque wall and cascade runs west to east, and the water stair at the western end is fed by the Lottenbach canal overflow. The Bauhaus Museum and the Gauforum stand to the northeast.
The Bertuch family grave stands near the western boundary wall, an unusual spot for a figure of his standing in classical Weimar; most were buried in the Historical or Jacobsfriedhof cemeteries. The sculptor Kurt Stiefel restored the grave in 1972. The pond is ringed by black locust trees.
