It was planned and created in the second half of the 19th century, like many recreational parks in other cities. An "English Garden" was created on the former eastern green, i.e. a forest park with a circular main path running through the middle. While it was used as pasture for cattle and as a training area by the military until the beginning of the 20th century, it is now used exclusively for recreation.

Beautiful landscape at the Wolkersdorfer Weiher. If you like, you can walk through the reeds to the pond.
