Ahnepark Information Board
Highlight • Rest Area
The park is divided into three zones to accommodate different uses. In the area close to the town there are restaurants, a chestnut courtyard for celebrations and gatherings and a workshop meadow for sculptors. For sports and games there is a grass playing field, an all-weather and a toddler playground, a music theater, a miniature railway and much more. The natural area includes an open-air laboratory, the lake with a bird island, a flower meadow and a fruit tree meadow, as well as the wet biotope in the Elschegraben area.
Vegetation
The Ahnepark is a habitat for a variety of animals and plants. Several thousand park trees were planted in addition to the old fruit trees. These include the cherry blossoms at the entrances, the double linden avenue along the paths and the chestnut trees to shade the square areas. At the edge of the park, the planting of trees and shrubs provides natural noise protection against traffic from the neighboring federal highway. The banks and shallow water zones are covered in reeds, rushes, arrowheads, water lilies and many other aquatic plants. In combination with many thousands of flowers, the park offers attractive plays of color all year round.
Between the Ahnepark and the festival grounds, you pass a freestanding, approximately 29 m high pedunculate oak. The giant tree has a trunk circumference of approximately 5.35 m and is approximately 250 years old. The oldest tree in the city is a protected natural monument.
Sculptures
Scenes, mainly made of stone, can be found scattered around the park. They were created during sculpture symposiums that have been held at regular intervals since 1987.
Some of the sculptures make direct reference to the place where they were created, such as the oversized ear ("Silence") or the suitcases that have been left behind ("Parts of the City").
