The Rosensteinpark in Stuttgart- Bad Cannstatt is considered the largest English landscape park in southwest Germany. It was laid out on the former Kahlenstein between 1824 and 1840 by order of King Wilhelm I according to plans by his court gardener Johann W. Bosch . King Wilhelm I bought all the parcels on the Kahlenstein from the citizens of Cannstatt from 1817 to 1818.

Rosenstein Castle was built in the middle of the park from 1822 to 1830 . The Wilhelma zoological-botanical garden and the museum at Löwentor are also located in the park. The lion gate at the upper exit of the park was built by Johann Michael Knapp . The crowning lion figure is a replica of the lion statue by Antonio Isopi , which stands at the entrance to the courtyard of the New Palace (see Deer and Lion (Schlossplatz Stuttgart) ). The Rosenstein tunnel leads the railway under the park.

Today the "State Park" belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg and is a listed building . Together with the Schlossgarten , Leibfriedschen Garten , Wartberg and Höhenpark Killesberg it forms the “ Green U ” of Stuttgart. Due to the hunting ban, the Rosensteinpark has the highest density of hares in Germany with 173 hares per km². The park is part of the FFH area No. 7220-311 Glemswald and Stuttgarter Bucht .

The area of ​​the Rosenstein Park belongs to the Neckarvorstadt district (Bad Cannstatt). The parking station adjacent to Rosensteinpark is listed as the Am Rosensteinpark district in the Stuttgart-Nord district in the list of districts of Stuttgart .
