Dietel Park

Dietel Park is a 6-hectare public park in the Pogoń district with winding paths through landscaped gardens, two fountains, and artificial hills creating varied terrain. Multiple entrances along Stefan Żeromski Street provide access to the grounds and different views throughout the space.

Heinrich Dietl founded the park in 1901, hiring German gardener Ernst Robert Pietsche and architect Fritz Hanishem to create a neo-romantic landscape design. The project emerged during a period when private estates were transformed into important public gathering spaces for the city.

The park includes a restored gazebo that once anchored social gatherings, while a former shrine with columned portico and mythological carvings shaped how visitors moved through the space. These structures defined the character of the place for earlier generations.

Access to the grounds is available at multiple points along Stefan Żeromski Street, with public transportation stops situated nearby. The terrain features gentle slopes from the artificial hills, making most paths manageable for casual walking.

The park holds around 60 tree species, including a rare Rumelian pine positioned at the edge of a decorative pond. This botanical diversity reflects the original garden design and gives the space horticultural interest for those who pay attention.
