The Calgeerpark (also Calgeeranlage ) is a park in Kempten (Allgäu) . It is located here between the Adenauerring and Parkstrasse. The park is named after the merchant and benefactor Christian Marco Calgèer . By building a military hospital of the Wehrmacht and later Carl-von-Linde-Gymnasium , the park has shrunk in area.

The park was laid out by the city gardener Dominikus Senn (1863–1915) in 1909. All public green spaces in Kempten up to the outbreak of World War I can be traced back to him. These include the hooded lock complex , the city ​​park and parts of the Burghalde . The park was financed by the Calgèer Foundation.
