Kocherpark

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bust of Emil Theodor Kocher (created in 1944 by Max Fueter )

The Kocherpark is a park named after Nobel Prize winner Theodor Kocher on Belpstrasse in the city of Bern .

It stands on a plot of land that Albert Kocher, one of Theodor Kocher's sons, bequeathed to the civic community of Bern in 1941 on the condition that a publicly accessible park named "Theodor Kocher Park" should be built on it. The civic community passed the property on to the resident community , which decided to implement the project in this sense and also to equip the park with a bronze bust of the Nobel Prize winner. On September 19, 1944, the garden and the memorial created by the sculptor Max Fueter on behalf of the city and civic community were inaugurated.

From April 16, 1991 to March 31, 1992, the open drug scene came together in Kocherpark , which had first met on the cathedral platform and from 1985 on the Kleiner Schanze and was broken up by the police at Christmas 1990 . After that, there was no longer an open drug scene in Bern, and trade shifted to changing locations in the city center.
