The Öjendorfer Park in summer

The Öjendorfer Park is a listed public park in the east of Hamburg . The character of the park is determined by the large Öjendorfer Lake , which lies almost in the middle .

location

Öjendorfer Park is located on the eastern edge of the Hamburg district of Billstedt . Its almost rectangular area extends over almost 140 hectares and is framed by the Öjendorf cemetery in the west, the federal motorway 24 in the north, the Barsbütteler Weg in the east and the Driftredder in the south. With the cemetery, the Schleemer Bach valley , the adjoining allotment gardens and other immediately adjacent open spaces, it forms a closed, lavishly designed green zone of almost 400 hectares.

history

The park was created on an originally agricultural area, where a sand pit was operated from 1925 to 1929 . After the Second World War, between 1950 and 1953, around 25 million tons of rubble from the destroyed eastern districts of Hamburg were deposited in the up to 12 m deep pit . In 1954, the remaining parts of the pit were filled with water from the Schleemer Bach. From 1957 to 1966 there was a rubble treatment plant on the site that delivered grit for the construction industry. The remaining material has been used to shape today's park landscape around the lake since 1958 and gradually planted it with greenery. The park only reached its final shape in 1968.

The entire park area is entered in the Hamburg monument list under No. 39042 .

Furnishing

The park is mainly accessed by a circular path around the lake. On the west side of the lake are the shadier and quieter places in the coppice of the Schleemer Bach, the east side of the lake is dominated by open, sunny lawns. The landscape of the park is hilly and shows an alternation of meadows and forest with only a few flowers.

In the park there are two playgrounds , two bathing areas, large lawns, a kiosk , a mini golf course , table tennis tables, garden chess systems and an artificial hill that is used for sledding in winter . From 1971 to 2013 there was a large and popular wooden play fort on the playground, which was demolished for cost reasons when the playground was redesigned.
