Sterrebos

The Sterrebos encompasses a green area with eight radiating paths extending from a central point, creating a distinctive star-shaped pattern in the landscape.

Originally designed in the eighteenth century as a hunting ground, the park underwent numerous transformations while maintaining its fundamental layout through centuries of urban development.

The park houses a Jewish monument featuring six expressive hands carved in stone, commemorating over 3,000 Jewish residents of Groningen who perished during World War II.

Located northwest of the Helpman district, the park connects to multiple transportation routes and provides access to nearby attractions including Park Groenestein and Winschoterdiep canal.

The Jewish monument within the park remains purposely incomplete, with an empty seventh pedestal representing the unfinished work of sculptor Eduard Waskowsky.
