Rencks Park

Rencks Park in May 2012

Neumünster in 1836. The monastery island, which was built on at that time, is clearly recognizable as an approximately square loop of the swale. This course of the river can still be seen today as a deepening of the ground and is part of today's Rencks Park.

The Rencks Park is a park in the center of Neumünster .

history

In 1857 the cloth manufacturer and budget adviser Detlev Anton Renck had the park laid out directly on the monastery island on the Schwaleufer . In 1870 his heirs, Hans Lorenz Renck (1840-1893) and Pauline Renck, the widow of the founder, donated the park of the city of Neumünster as a recreational area for the citizens on the occasion of the founding of the city. After the last heir, Heinrich Renck, had renounced his garden, the remaining wrought iron bars were removed in 1921 and the park opened to the public in its full size.
