This corresponds to an approximate length of 330 meters. The greatest width is 55 meters. The area of the park is about 1.5 hectares .

history
The industrial operations on the south side of Lützner Strasse, including the Langhammer und Söhne wallpaper factory founded in 1873 , had a rail connection to the Plagwitz station on their back . With a public charging point , the connection was one of the 37 industrial connections that industrial pioneer Carl Heine had built. After production was stopped in 1990, the siding fell into disrepair.
According to a concept of the municipal office for green areas, a green area with a playground was built in this area from 1998 to 2005, which in 2003 was named "Henriettenpark" after the adjacent street. In the competition for the Euro Cities Award 2007 in Porto, the project took second place. The association for relatives and friends of mentally ill people wege e. V.
