history

Lawn in the park

Today's Büsing Park was laid out in 1790 in the style of an English landscape garden and, as a private garden, belonged to the manor house built by the Bernard and d'Orville families. The pedunculate oaks that grow in large numbers in the park probably date from this time. The Hamburg merchant Adolf Büsing, a descendant of the d´Orville family, acquired the property in 1890. At the turn of the century following the acquisition, he had the now overgrown park redesigned as part of the renovation of the manor house. In 1921 the city of Offenbach acquired the palace for use as a town hall. Since then, the park has been open to the public and bears the name Büsing-Park.

Between 2006 and 2007 the park was redesigned. Among other things, the routes were changed, taking into account the historical structures from the 19th century.

Facility

Monopteros

1790 was built on a small hill originally probably imaginary as a stage for musical performances, in 2004 with funding from the State Office of Historic Monuments remodeled, open circular temple in the Rococo style . Originally, the inside of the temple was decorated with elaborate stucco work and probably also had paintings. Inside the hill there is said to have been a cellar where chairs could be stored.

There is a false gate towards Kaiserstraße . This was never a portal, but intended as a seating niche and was built around 1900. The architect was Wilhelm Manchot . The park is situated, along with the Büsing Palais under monument protection .

There are many works of art in the park , including sculptures by Hans Mettel , Wilhelm Rietschel and Karlgeorg Hoefer . A playground, a boules pitch , water games, a fountain and many park benches round off the leisure facilities of the park.

Festival of lights

The Festival of Lights , which takes place every year in August, is organized by the city of Offenbach and organized by associations, initiatives, churches and religious groups. In 2014 and 2015, 70,000 candles were arranged in the park with different motifs. In addition to an extensive culinary offer, the musical program with the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt is the highlight and an integral part of the festival.

The festival of lights took place for the first time on August 18, 2004 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the big city. On this occasion, the Neue Philharmonie gave a thank you concert , as the city had made the Capitol available as a trial domicile. Due to the success of the collaboration, the concert has established itself as an integral part of the festival.

For security reasons, the number of visitors has been limited to around 7,000 to 8,000 people since 2014. To ensure this, an entrance fee of 2 to 3 euros has been charged since then.
