History

  1. 1901Hamburg bought the Sierichsches Gehölz and nearby land for a park.
  2. 1910Fritz Schumacher and Sperber presented a joint park design.
  3. 1914Stadtpark opened before construction was complete; work finished in 1928.
  4. From 1918Otto Linne led much of the park’s gardening and landscaping.
  5. 1930The former water tower became a planetarium.
Show all
  1. 1945–1952After wartime bombing destroyed most park buildings, including the Stadthalle, emergency shelters occupied the festival meadow until 1952.
  2. 1995A park care plan guided restoration of historic axes and connections.
