The Eichtalpark is a 7.5 hectare public park in the Hamburg district of Wandsbek . It stretches along the Wandse between Kedenburgstrasse in the west and Strasse Bei der Hopfenkarre in the east. It is bounded in the north by Walddörferstrasse and in the south by Ahrensburger Strasse.

history

The park goes back to a former private estate of the Wandsbeck leather manufacturer Lucas Lütkens. He had oaks planted on the property in order to extract tannins for leather production from their bark and leaves . His grandson Caspar Lütkens later converted the plantation into a park. In 1926, the then still independent city of Wandsbek bought the site and had Hermann Koenig redesign it into a public Wandsbek city park. The villa in the park was used by the Wandsbek Local History Museum until it was destroyed in 1943 .

Attractions

  • The southern entrance building (for Ahrensburger Straße) was founded in 1927 as a public convenience built into the two sphinxes of Lütkens'schen park land were integrated. They were originally created by the Swedish sculptor Johann Wilhelm Manstadt for the Schimmelmann'sche Palais in Hamburg's Mühlenstrasse. It has been a listed building since September 1, 2005. The renovation of the gatehouse at Eichtalpark was completed in 2019 and handed over to the Association of Friends of Eichtalpark for cultural use.
  • The Eichtalpark restaurant , a former water mill. First mentioned in 1572, the current building was built in 1888 after the fire of the predecessor. After the building was converted into a restaurant in 1928, the water wheel was not removed until 1930.
