Julius Trip (born May 17, 1857 in Wermelskirchen , † September 18, 1907 in Hanover ) was a German garden architect .

Life

After an apprenticeship as a gardener in Roßkothen , Julius Trip attended the Royal Gardening School at the Wildlife Park near Potsdam from 1876–1878 . There he became a member of the student union Technischer Bund Burschentag . After activities in Düsseldorf, Trier and Munich ( Nymphenburg Palace Park ), he was head gardener of the parks at Baron von Cramer-Klett at Hohenaschau Palace from 1881–1888 and at Baron Riederer von Paar's at Schönau (Rottal) from 1888–1890 .

Eventually Trip became a city gardener in Hanover in 1890, the place where he worked in the last years of his life. In 1892 appointed city garden inspector, 1897 garden director, Trip took the initiative for the city beautification of Hanover by founding an independent garden administration after the formation of a green space committee (1897). In particular, the redesign of city squares and green spaces, the creation of avenues in city streets and the planting of schoolyards were all due to his activities. The grounds of the Maschpark behind the New Town Hall and the expansion of the Stöcken city cemetery to become a park cemetery are still Julius Trip's main works, witnesses of his artistic genius. Trip was from 1903 private lecturer for garden art at the Technical University of Hanover and 1905-1907 chairman of the German Society for Garden Art .

Julius Trip died when he was only 50 years old. His grave, designed with a boulder, is located in the Stöcken city cemetery in Hanover. In 1910, the sculptor Georg Herting created a memorial for Julius Trip in the Maschpark, which was restored to a reduced extent after war damage.

In 2007, in the 100th year of death, the Julius-Trip-Ring was created as a 24 km long circular hiking and cycling path . It shows the green qualities of Hanover that have developed since his work.
