Lindengarten (Wismar)
The Lindengarten is a listed park in the Hanseatic city of Wismar in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The complex was built by the city in 1815 with the help of donations on the site of a former Swedish fortification. The park is bordered to the west by Bahnhofstrasse and Bauhofstrasse. Rostocker Straße forms the border in the south. The railway lines Wismar – Rostock and Ludwigslust – Wismar run in the northeast . The Mühlenbach, known in the city as the Grube , runs through the park . At the northwest end are the remains of the medieval city fortifications from the second half of the 15th century. The former water tower supplied the Hanseatic city with drinking water until the 19th century . Between 1996 and 1997 it was extensively renovated.
In the park, next to the old trees, there is a bronze sculpture by Horst Brühmann entitled Metamorphosis . As an individual monument, it is also a listed building .
The monument to the fallen Wismarers of the Franco-German War once stood in the linden garden, which was erected in 1873 according to a design by the architect Heinrich Thormann . It was removed in 1970. The memorial for Fritz Reuter with a bust modeled by the sculptor Hermann Zimmermann , donated by the widow of the publisher Carl Hinstorff in 1896, was moved in 1988 in front of the Reuter School on Dahlmannstrasse.
