Willy Brandts Park

Willy Brandt's Park is a green space in Hammarbyhöjden with grassy areas, walking paths, and a central pergola structure. The park features natural planting and creates an open area suitable for outdoor relaxation and movement.

The park honors former German Chancellor Willy Brandt, who sought refuge in Stockholm during the 1940s to escape Nazi persecution. His years in Sweden influenced his later commitment to reconciliation and peaceful international relations.

A bronze statue by artist Rainer Fetting depicts Willy Brandt and stands as a symbol of reconciliation and peaceful leadership. The sculpture draws visitors who want to pause and reflect on the bonds between Sweden and Germany.

The park is freely accessible year-round and offers easy walking paths for leisurely strolls. The flat terrain makes it simple to navigate and explore all areas at your own pace.

The bronze sculpture was created in 2007 by Rainer Fetting, a prominent artist from divided Berlin, adding another layer of German history to the park. This connection to Berlin's art scene makes the memorial more than a simple tribute to a political leader.
