The green area in the style of an English landscape garden is located on the west bank of the Kiel Fjord in the north of the city and is on the list of landscape protection areas in the city of Kiel . One of the largest open bar areas in Schleswig-Holstein belongs to the inn of the same name.

history

Information board at the keel line

At the time when the Duchy of Holstein was part of the entire Danish state , the Danish Minister of State Christian Detlev von Reventlow initiated the Royal Danish Forestry School in Kiel in 1785 . Its first director August Christian Niemann put 1,788 originally a hectare comprehensive Forstbaumschule on. The purpose was to train members of the hunter corps to become foresters . The aim of the measure was to promote the distribution of usable wood plants in the forests of the country in a contemporary version . This was intended to improve the forest stock, which had declined throughout Germany since the 16th century.

In 1810 the area of ​​the tree nursery had already doubled. In 1833, teaching was stopped and a commercial tree nursery was operated on the site . After the end of the German-Danish War , the forest nursery came under Prussian administration and was abandoned as a forest enterprise. In 1874, the city of Kiel finally became the owner of the area and also leased it to various operators as a commercial tree nursery. The forest nursery has been open to the public as a park since 1900.

In 1904/05, on behalf of the municipal building department, under the direction of Harry Maasz , the restaurant building that still exists today was built on the site of the old forest ranger's cottage. On the edge of the park, the St. Heinrich Church was built from 1907 to 1909 according to plans by the architect Adalbert Kelm . During the 20th century the park was expanded to almost 13 hectares; lawns and ponds were laid out. The gastronomy in the forest nursery was known nationwide for concerts and dance events , especially in the 1920s and in the post - war period , and is now a very popular restaurant with a beer garden again. The building itself, as well as the linden trees in front of it, the drinks pavilion and the concert shell, is entered in the register of registered cultural monuments of the state of Schleswig-Holstein .

Today the forest tree nursery located on Düvelsbeker Weg presents itself as a park and local recreation area with a diverse tree population that includes some tree species that are not native to Central Europe, e.g. B. a sequoia and North American oaks .
