history
Archduke Joseph of Austria was a spa guest in Bad Wörishofen from 1893 to 1897 . During this time, the construction of the spa park, which at that time was still called Archduke-Joseph-Anlagen , began. The Bad Wörishofen Beautification Association expanded the park in 1902/1903. In the north, the park is bordered by Alfred-Baumgarten-Strasse, which also partially cuts through the park. In the south, Schöneschacherstrasse and Albert-Schalle-Weg close off the park.
