Bürgerpark (Pasewalk)
The Bürgerpark was the first park in Pasewalk , a town in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The park was created on the initiative of Mayor Albert Will in 1898 east of Prenzlauer Chaussee, which is now part of Bundesstraße 109 . In the northeastern part there has been the love grotto since 1903 in honor of the mayor , a cave formation made of tuff , which can be accessed from the rear with a staircase and in which there is a memorial plaque with the original, but now heavily weathered inscription: “Dem Founder of the facility, Mayor Will 1903 ”. From up there, a view opens up over the entire park with the goldfish pond. In 1913, on the initiative of the wealthy businessman Emil Johann Christian Krüger (cigar retailer Krüger & Oberbeck), the "Krügerpark", which was immediately adjacent to it, was extended to the Pasewalker Kirchenforst. In his honor, the city of Pasewalk erected a memorial stone in that part of the park in 1929 with the inscription: "This park was donated by the honorary citizen of our city, Emil Krüger in 1913". In 2005, a new memorial stone with the original inscription was placed on the base of the old stone. The entire park is now a listed building .
The park is used for celebrations in the 21st century.
