Created in 1937 for the “Great Imperial Exhibition of Productive People,” Nordpark spans 36.5 hectares and was designed by Willi Tapp with symmetrical axes, water features, and formal flowerbeds. Its centerpiece is the 170-meter water axis, flanked by sculptures like Edwin Scharff’s “Rossebändiger,” which evoke classical grandeur. The park also houses the Japanese Garden, gifted by Düsseldorf’s Japanese community in 1975, offering tranquil paths, koi ponds, and traditional landscaping. Adjacent to the garden is the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum, a popular family attraction combining zoology and natural history. Nordpark’s layout reflects both historical garden architecture and modern leisure needs, with open lawns, shaded walks, and educational installations like the Evolution Trail. It remains a beloved destination for locals and tourists seeking nature, culture, and quiet reflection.
