history
Rephun's Garden is a public city park, a former civil garden of the Rephun family, which has existed since the 16th century. Around 1733/34, the Royal British Commissioner Johann Georg Köhler carried out a thoroughgoing garden design. In 1750 the garden was modernized and taken over by the Rephun family. The rectangular as well as the round pool have been part of the garden since the 18th century . In 1801 the garden was leased to the gardener Friedrich August Halbentz. Most of the path system was not changed. He started with a landscaping. He was responsible for the baroque path structure and the two water basins. It is also believed that he had the two bald cypress trees planted on the roundabout, which are among the only surviving specimens from the famous Cortum tree nursery in Zerbst. After the death of Oberforstmeister Ernst Wilhelm Gottlob von Rephun , Rephun's garden became the property of the city of Zerbst, as did the rest of the estate of the Oberforstmeister, according to his will from 1811. In 1887 the city named the complex after its founder as Rephuns Garten. The Von Rephuns Garten restaurant has been located on the site of the former residential and commercial buildings of Oberforster Rephun, north of Rephuns Garten, since 1895 .
layout
Some elements of the landscape have been preserved, such as the system of paths, some groups of trees and a striking copper beech in the area of today's main transverse axis. The main transverse axis runs in a straight line and was designed in the last post-war period. At the intersection with the older, straight longitudinal axis, there is a circular area with a round fountain.
At the rectangular pool there was a fountain figure in the form of Neptune , which is no longer there today. There are also no longer two baroque park sculptures that stood on two sandstone platforms that were still in place .
