history

Temple of Apollo in Cramer-Klett-Park
Temple of Apollo

In the earlier gardens near Wöhrd , which were used to grow fruit and vegetables, the Cramer-Klett family laid out a spacious garden around their representative villa in the 19th century . In 1823 the Temple of Apollo , a domed round building with a porch, was built as a classical garden building. The female figure on the dome, created by Philipp Kittler , was not added until 1934.

In 1929 the city of Nuremberg acquired the property in connection with the planning of a town hall, and in 1931 the green area was opened to the public. During the Nazi era , Julius Streicher moved into the villa, the park was closed again and severely destroyed in the Second World War. The existing buildings - with the exception of the Temple of Apollo - had to be demolished.

In the 1960s the park was designed as a public green area. Only the Temple of Apollo has stood the test of time as a defining design element and functions as a relic of the former gardens. The newly laid out routing took into account the existing trees. The design and furnishing (seating terraces with pergolas, fountains, plantings) corresponded to the zeitgeist of the 1960s. In 1963 the Nuremberg Marionette Theater opened in the Temple of Apollo. 2000, the temple was an arson victim, burned down and was reopened after three years. Only the playground in the western part of the park has been renovated in recent years. The green space is being completely renovated as part of the open space master plan and the "Compact Green Nuremberg 2020" action plan. Citizen participation has been taking place in this context since 2016.
