Parcul Central (German: Zentralpark , formerly: Parcul Stalin or Scudierpark ) is - after Parcul Regina Maria - the second oldest park in Timișoara . It was founded in 1870 by the military and fortress commander , General Anton von Scudier , and carried his name until the Banat was divided in 1919.
Geographical location
The Parcul Central is located in the district of Cetate and is delimited by the Bulevardul Republicii, the Bulevardul Regele Ferdinand, the Bulevardul 16 Decembrie 1989 and the Splaiul Nicolae Titulescu. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Romanian Orthodox Cathedral .
description
The park was established on the site of the former military cemetery after the remains of the 8,000-9,000 dead had been reburied in the Heroes' Cemetery on Calea Lipovei. The park got the name of its founder and carried it into the 20th century. After the general's death, his life-size statue was placed in the middle of the park. During the First World War , however, this was destroyed by angry citizens. After the war, a clock was placed on the base of the statue. It was not until 1962 that the monument to the Romanian soldier took the place of the Scudier statue. During the Stalinist era the complex was called Parcul Stalin, but was renamed Parcul Central again after the death of Josef Stalin in 1953. The park now covers an area of 91,400 square meters.
