Knoops Park , named after the Bremen merchant Ludwig Knoop (1821-1894), is a park in the Burglesum district of Bremen , St. Magnus, which covers an area of 65 hectares .
history
After Knoop had acquired the Mühlenthal estate in the then independent community of St. Magnus in 1859, he had the Mühlenthal Castle built in the English Tudor style by the architect Gustav Runge from 1868 to 1871 . In 1870 he commissioned the garden architect Wilhelm Benque (1814–1895), who was also responsible for the design of the Bremen Bürgerpark , with the planning and creation of a park landscape on the Lesum . Only a small part of today's Knoops Park was designed by Benque, namely the area around the castle south of the street Auf dem Hohen Ufer between the streets Auf dem Steinberg and An Knoops Park .
Benque planned generous open spaces into the existing tree population. Viewpoints on the high reading cape such as B. the Jünglingshöhe offered an incomparable view over the river and the Werderland to Bremen and the Oldenburger Land. Today this is partially impaired by industrial settlements and wind turbines in the area of the Bremen ports and in Werderland, but it is still worth seeing.
In 1933, Mühlenthal Castle, which had been in ruins for a long time, was torn down. Its floor plan has now been made visible through floor markings. The bronze Ludwig Knoop statue by the sculptor Claus Homfeld , which was created on the 100th anniversary of the death of Ludwig Knoop, has been close by since 1995 . The two gatehouses of the castle on the road on the high bank have been preserved and are used for residential purposes.
In 1936 the park became the property of the municipality of Lesum and was converted into a public park by the garden architect Christian Roselius (1871–1945). In 1979 the parks to the west of the Schotteck , Lesmona and the former Albrechtsburg were restored and “handed over to the citizens of Bremen”. There you will find the classicist house Lesmona (also Villa Lesmona ) from 1814 and the Villa Schotteck, built by Baron Ludwig Knoop for his daughter Adele Wolde and his son-in-law Johann Georg Wolde until 1894 . Both parts of the park are separated by the street Auf dem Steinberg and only connected at ground level in the north and south. In the middle, the street is cut so deep into the terrain that a pedestrian bridge was built.
To the west of Raschenkampsweg there is a public park area with a dense tree population that extends to Billungstrasse and large lawns near the Rachenkampsweg. Germany's first garden for the blind was built here in 1989 on 1,600 square meters and was built exclusively on a private initiative. This park was originally called Blumenkamppark as it was part of Carl Heinrich Wolde's Blumenkamp estate . Attributing it to Knoops Park - as is currently customary - is therefore historically incorrect. The same applies to the Lesmona estate.
Monument protection, landscape protection
1973 and 2010, Knoops Park with House Kränholm , House Tillery , Hofmeierhaus Lesmona , outbuildings of Albrechtsburg, Hofmeierhaus and water tower of Albrecht Castle, Landhaus Wolde, Villa Schotteck , Hofmeierhaus House Schotteck, belonging to the Good Mühlethal gatehouses (gardener's house and gatehouse) and bridges and garden decoration included as a group of monuments in the state monuments list: See the list of cultural monuments in Burglesum . It belongs to the Bremen landscape protection area, which was designated in 1968.
The Friends of Knoops Park e. V. received the 2016 Bremen Monument Preservation Prize for its voluntary work, including the demolition of the former nurses' home .
