Cathedral bridge without a watercourse

The park was characterized by ponds, watercourses and unusual bridges until well into the second half of the 20th century . However, the waters were filled in and the bridges, apart from the preserved cathedral bridge, were torn down. The cathedral bridge spanned a watercourse that connected the former office pond with the former crescent pond. Today the bridge has lost its original function, there is no more water under it.

On the edge of the park there is a children's playground and the local sports field.
