Volksgarten is Düsseldorf’s oldest public park and a beloved green retreat that blends romantic landscaping with vibrant city life. Established in 1896 as part of the city’s southern expansion, the park was designed by garden architect Joseph Clemens Weyhe, son of the renowned Maximilian Weyhe. It features gently curving paths, expansive lawns, and tranquil ponds, embodying the ideals of the English landscape garden. The park’s most iconic feature is the “Düssel” stream, which meanders through the grounds and feeds into the nearby Schwanenspiegel. In the 1980s, Volksgarten was expanded and revitalized as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Garden Exhibition), adding modern elements like themed gardens, playgrounds, and public art. Today, it connects seamlessly with Südpark, forming one of Düsseldorf’s largest green spaces. With its blend of history, horticulture, and recreation, Volksgarten remains a cherished destination for relaxation and community gatherings.
