Acacia park
The Akazienpark (also: Akaziengarten ) is a small park in the southern Hessian city of Darmstadt , located on Fliederberg in the Darmstadt-West district .
history
The park was, at that time located in 1817 far out of town, at the request of Grand Duke Ludewig I created. Eight paths radiate through the park from an octagonal central square, with a tea house in the middle. There was a basin at the southeast corner . Shortly before the First World War , the military administration bought the park and built a military hospital that was used until it was partially destroyed in the Second World War . After 1945 the rebuilt buildings were used by various authorities and a school. A student dormitory was built in the south-west corner .
The park and the ensemble of buildings have been listed under the Hessian Monument Protection Act since 1986 .
etymology
Due to the poor sandy soil, the park was planted with acacias and therefore got its name. The mound of earth in the southeast corner of the park was originally called "Hungerberg"; today the hill is called "Fliederberg".
Others
The Schepp Allee natural monument is located on the northern edge of the park . The Hessian Court of Audit is located in the acacia garden .
