history

The namesake, Helmut Zilk (2008)

An ideas competition was held in 2010 to design the park, in which landscape planners from Austria , Switzerland , Germany and France participated. The jury, headed by Cordula Loidl-Reisch, chose the Zurich-based Hager Partner AG project as the winner of the competition. The park was named on March 1, 2011 after the former journalist and social democratic mayor of Vienna, Helmut Zilk (1927 to 2008).

The groundbreaking ceremony for the park took place on May 22, 2014, which cost around € 5 million. The first part of the park was inaugurated on July 8, 2016 in the presence of Helmut Zilk's widow , Dagmar Koller , and the City Councilor for the Environment, Ulli Sima . The second part of the park was opened on June 9, 2017 on the 90th birthday of the namesake. The park was the largest park project in Vienna in the last 40 years.
