Plant and history
The creation of the park goes back to the founder Albertine Flickschu , who bequeathed the city of Burg an amount of 175,000 marks with the condition that a public park should be set up as close to the city as possible. The founder had planned the so-called Bremer Wiese as the park plot . She had already acquired the property, but the city was to buy adjacent properties. In order to enable young people to ice-skate in winter , Albertine Flickschuh had ordered a pond to be created in the park.
After the death of the founder was decided in 1912, on the now already as Flick Schu meadow denominated place a pond, today's Flick Schu pond , and before the station castle a park, today Goethe Park to create. The plans for the Flickschuteich and the surrounding area were drawn up by the Burger garden architect Hans Schmidt . He planned the construction of the pond with a circular path on the south side and the Ihle promenade, designed as a tree-lined avenue, on the north side, parallel to the Ihle. The Ihlestrasse , which runs north of the Ihle towards the park from the north, was supposed to extend to the bank of the pond through the construction of a bridge (Ihlebrücke) .
For the patch-shoe park, the patch-shoe foundation made 25,000 marks available. 104 plane trees were planted on the Ihlepromenade . In addition, two poplars, 15 spherical box trees, 25 pyramid poplars , 500 hornbeams , 200 firs , 340 rhododendrons, 600 shrubs, 460 perennials, 1500 individual trees, 400 individual trees and four willows were planted. An originally planned bridge to the island in the pond was not implemented for cost reasons.
The area south of the pond is designed in the style of Lenné , the northern part, on the other hand, took up the regular character of the systems typical of the time it was built. On the south side, groups of trees and bushes alternated with open meadows. Serbian spruce , dogwood , bird cherry and other trees were planted here . There were lines of sight to the northern bank and the Upper Church of Our Dear Women . On the eastern and northern banks there were meadows with individual black pines and black poplars , and on the western bank an arcade made of hornbeams . The banks themselves were planted with ferns, irises, crocuses and brook butterbur . Overall, the complex was shaped by the contrast between the regularly designed northern part, also with seating limited by yew hedges, and the freely landscaped southern part.
In 1922, the work on the establishment of the patch-school park was completed. Around the end of the 1950s and in the mid-1970s, renovations and extensions took place, although the character of the park remained largely unchanged. In 1959, a playground with a lawn was built at the eastern end of the park. On March 17, 2015, the Flickschupark was designated as a cultural monument and included in the local register of monuments .
Further extensive work on the park was carried out in the run-up to the State Garden Show Burg (near Magdeburg) in 2018 , in which the Flickschupark was included. The original concept of the connection between town and country was taken up and further developed. Special points were developed for the state horticultural show. The island in the pond was filled with rhododendrons, and water lilies were laid out in the pond on 200 m². Ribbons of perennial and alternating florets stretch around the pond. A water playground as well as a play and toboggan hill were created at the eastern end and nine themed gardens. At least for the duration of the Laga, two lakeside cafés were created.
