March Park
The March Park is a 16,000 m² park in the 15th Viennese district of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus . It was created in 1925 on a plot of land in the abandoned Schmelzer cemetery .
history
After the Schmelzer cemetery was closed, some of the dead were exhumed and buried in Vienna's central cemetery. The area freed up was partially built in. As with the Währinger local cemetery and the general Währinger cemetery , part of the former cemetery was converted into a park. The March Park was opened in 1928 and got its name because of the 35 dead of the March Revolution buried here in 1848 . Today a tombstone-like memorial stone still commemorates the fallen, who were moved to the central cemetery in 1888.
The Wiener Stadthalle was built next to the March Park in 1958 . In 2004, due to the difficult parking situation below the park, an underground car park was built with a third of the park's basement. The park, which was redesigned from the studio landscape, was reopened on June 29, 2006 at 6:48 pm. Today the park has rest areas, playgrounds for children and toddlers, a ball game arena and a “youth square”. A pyramid of roses concealing the ventilation of the underground car park forms the focal point.
