Nells Park

Nells Park (also Nells Ländchen ) is a 95,000 m² park on the lower Avelsbach in Trier . It was created by the Canon of St. Paulin's Abbey , Nikolaus Nell . Between 1792 and 1793 he bought the swampy lands from the Teutonic Order and drained them to create the park. The park in the early romantic English-Dutch style was completed in 1801. In 1861 a classicist mansion was built, which today houses the Hotel Nells Park. In 1940 the park was acquired by the city of Trier and expanded during the war years. An expansion of the water area also served to provide extinguishing water for the nearby provisions office at that time. In honor of the rose breeder Peter Lambert , a rose garden was created in 1958 in Nells Park under horticultural director Gottfried Rettig.

The Nells Ländchen is also the namesake of the northern of the two city districts within the Trier district of Trier-Nord .
