history

Since 1797 Christiansenpark (originally called Stuhrs Garten ) a little further to the west has been gradually built . At some point at the beginning of the 18th century, Andreas Christiansen senior laid out another garden east of the area of ​​the later cemetery , the aforementioned park of today's Museum Mountain. In 1799/1800 Andreas Christiansen senior had the Boreas mill built in the new park area. The serpentine path with its retaining walls was laid out around 1816 and has led down the Fördehang to Rathausstrasse since 1883 . The Christiansens Palace , which was also built by Andreas Christiansen senior on the plot of land at Holm No. 12, was located below the fjord slope . The Museumsberg Park was therefore likely to have been built around 1816 at the latest. The mirror grotto was built around 1820 .

Around 1900 the park, then called Funkescher Garten , was taken over by the city for the planned new museum building. The park design changed considerably with the construction of the Hans Christiansen House (1894–1896), the Heinrich Sauermann House (1900–1903) and the neighboring Villa Sauermann on the edge of the park. On the west side of the Heinrich Sauermann House, lawns with oval ornamental beds and winding paths were laid out. The sculptures and objects that can be seen in the park today are also likely to have been erected after the building was built. In the 1930s, the area was fundamentally redesigned, the basic features of which have been preserved to this day. The park was divided into three lawns. The lawn in front of the museum was enclosed with a wall .

In 1933, the so-called German Christians received a majority in all important church bodies in rigged church elections. The Nazi-loyal "German Christians" in Flensburg installed the new provost Hasselmann with a ceremony on November 19, 1933, the 450th birthday of Martin Luther . In the presence of the local representatives of the NSDAP, the national combat organizations and the regional bishop Paulsen , a Luther oak was planted at the Lutherhaus . At the same time, the synchronization of the church was stylized as the “second German Reformation”. In the same year, today's area of ​​the Museum Mountain was named after Martin Luther, so that the city ​​museum had the address Lutherplatz 1 for many years . In 1996 the city planned to rename Lutherplatz. Many citizens disagreed and criticized the project. Nevertheless, in 1997 Lutherplatz was renamed Museumsberg. In return, the green area on the Frisian Mountain was named Luther Park .

In 1967 the mask fountain at Fritz-Wempner-Platz was created below the serpentine , which obviously no longer really belongs to the park with its location below the fjord slope. For historical, scientific, artistic and urban planning reasons, the park has recently been listed as a listed building.

Further equipment

Several objects from the museum's collection are set up in the park, for example:

  • The Mürwik lion, a 1.50 high lion statue that was previously in the park in Mürwik . The coat of arms in the shield shows a linden tree.
  • The bronze sculpture Saved (by the fisherman) was created by Adolf Brütt in 1887 . The sculpture had been on loan in Flensburg since 1928. After the original was finally returned to Berlin (to the National Gallery on Berlin's Museum Island), a copy of the sculpture was set up in 2010 in Museumsberg Park.
  • Statues of gods by Theodorus Schlichting , which were originally installed as balustrade statues at the Palais Dernath in Schleswig. The palace burned down in 1868, so that the statues came to Flensburg in the period after that.
