Opened in 2020 at place Pouchet, the garden is named after Hans and Sophie Scholl, siblings of the White Rose, the German student resistance network against Nazism. Both were executed in 1943. The sign at the entrance gives their dates, 1918-1943 and 1921-1943, and calls them German resistants.
The name comes from Hans and Sophie Scholl, a brother and sister in the White Rose (Die Weiße Rose), a student resistance group in Nazi Germany; both were executed in 1943. The green sign at the garden entrance gives their dates, 1918-1943 and 1921-1943, and calls them "Résistants allemands" and "Héros de la résistance".
The park sits near the tram line 3b, making it easy to reach by public transport from other parts of the city. Different sections are designed for specific age groups, so it helps to know what each area offers before visiting with children.
The garden opened in 2020 on the site of Place Pouchet, between Boulevard du Bois-le-Prêtre, Rue Floréal and Rue Hélène-et-François-Missoffe, facing Rue Andrée-Putman and the Bois-le-Prêtre tower. Its name was chosen to honour the Scholl siblings, members of the White Rose network executed in 1943.
