Stadtpflegeranger, Public park in central Augsburg, Germany
Stadtpflegeranger is an elevated green space in the Station Quarter surrounded by large chestnut trees and positioned between two main streets. The area offers open space for walking and sitting, with columns that display historical plaques.
The park was created around 1820 and originally planted with balsam poplars that drew walkers during spring and autumn. The area later developed into the modern Station Quarter while keeping its role as a place for rest.
The columns in the park display plaques that tell stories of different moments from Augsburg's city history, inviting visitors to explore. These memorial pieces are woven into daily local life and make the past tangible for anyone passing through.
The park is near the Staatstheater and easily reached by public transport, especially tram line 4 and several bus routes. The open layout makes it simple to find your way around and explore different areas on your own.
During construction work in the park, Roman artifacts including urns and relief fragments were uncovered, now displayed at the Roman Museum. These findings reveal that the site sits on one of the region's oldest settlements.
