The Carlisle Park is a park in the city of Flensburg , which was named after its twin town Carlisle . It is located near the Flensburg train station . It consists of a not completely closed avenue that leads around a large lawn. Thanks to its central location, it is probably the most famous park in the city.

history

The station park was created around 1927 with the construction of the Flensburg station. It lies on part of the area of ​​the filled-in mill pond. In 1927, line 1 of the Flensburg tram also ran along the park .

As part of the newly designed station district, the park was initially nameless. 1934 decided department heads of the city, the station square with its plants, today's field of road on Bundesbahnhof, by Adolf Hitler to be named. The police chief Konrad Fulda rejected the decision in January 1935 on the grounds that it was not named after the living. He proposed Hindenburg facilities (after Paul von Hindenburg ). The Lord Mayor Wilhelm Sievers insisted on the proposal. On March 23, 1935, the name Adolf Hitler facilities took place (see Adolf Hitler as the namesake of streets and squares or other similar names ). The decision regarding the naming of the “station facilities” after Adolf Hitler was repealed in May 1945.

In 1940 a barrack camp called "Norway Camp" was built on the park area that was used by the Wehrmacht . After the war it was used as a camp for refugees . In 1952, 62 people lived in four wooden barracks in the camp. Statistics from April 1, 1954 showed that there were still 43 people in the Norway camp. It is recorded for the following year that it was completely cleared. In 1959 the barracks were torn down. The park was then restored and the Froschbrunnen built in the southern area of ​​the park to the train station , where the Bismarckbrunnen was used. In addition, a number of decorative beds and the design around the fountain (fountain garden) were created.

In 1969 the Association of Democratic Resistance Fighters erected the memorial stone for the victims of the tyranny in the north-eastern part of the park . Today the tram memorial stands on the northern edge, reminding of the tram line, which was closed in 1973. The monument consists of a drive set that stands on a short section of track.

In 1988/89 the park was named after the British twin town Carlisle.

End of the 90 ill and succumbed to some of the old elms of Dutch elm disease . In 1998, 24 artists created sculptures from the affected elms. Only two of these tree sculptures are currently left. Apparently linden trees were replanted.

In summer, the park is now used not only for walking, but sometimes also for playing Frisbee or the like.
