A dignified place in the heart of the English Garden
In the English Garden, the Freiherr von Werneck monument commemorates one of the park’s co-designers. It is located near the Seehaus restaurant.
If you take a walk along Kleinhesseloher See, perhaps on the way to the Seehaus restaurant or the popular beer garden, you will come across a place that is easily overlooked and yet carries great historical significance: the Freiherr von Werneck memorial. It stands quietly and nestled between old trees – a place that combines remembrance and nature in a special way.
Who was Baron von Werneck?
Baron von Werneck was one of the most influential personalities in the history of the English Garden. As a military and administrative official, he played a key role in the development of this unique landscape park. The memorial commemorates his work and pays tribute to a man who contributed to making the English Garden one of the largest inner-city parks in the world today.
The memorial – a silent symbol of remembrance
The memorial itself is simple yet expressive. Here you will find a quiet memorial that is not intrusive, but blends harmoniously into its surroundings – almost like a quiet place of remembrance or a small memorial square in the countryside. It is precisely this restraint that makes it so special and allows you to pause for a moment undisturbed.
