Seven table systems
The seven-table systems are a landscape park in Augsburg . They were created towards the end of the 19th century and are now a local recreation area . The seven-table systems are often referred to as the seven-table forest . In fact, there are two different, albeit directly adjacent areas. The seven-table systems are located in the north of the Siebentischwald , towards the city center.
location
The seven-table systems run in a north-south direction between Haunstetter Strasse and Lech . The area is bordered to the west by sports facilities and allotment gardens, to the east by the botanical garden and zoo and to the north by a four-lane street, the so-called Schleifenstraße . The Siebentischwald joins in the south .
The seven-table systems cover an area of around 27 hectares at around 1.5 km in length and up to 250 m in width.
history
Emergence
The facilities were built in the 1870s at the suggestion of the then city building councilor Ludwig Leybold , who tried to compensate for the loss of green areas caused by industrialization by creating new green areas. In addition, there was a desire among the city's population for a shady connection to the Siebentisch restaurant - the route there had previously led through agricultural land.
On the basis of plans by Carl von Effner (revised by Leybold), the construction of the park began in 1874. It was opened just a year later. Between 1876 and 1879 an avenue was laid out between the southern outskirts of the old town at the Red Gate and the new facilities (today Baumgartnerstraße).
development
In 1902/1903 and 1907/1908 the park was expanded slightly to the west and south. In 1908 the Schaezler Fountain, named after its donor Baron Edmund von Schaezler, was built at the southern end of the grounds (at the transition to the Siebentischwald).
1914 was the Ausflugsgaststätte in the center of the plants Park Häusl built. In 1936 and 1937, the construction of the botanical and zoological gardens resulted in smaller losses of space.
From the mid-50s of the 20th century, the seven-table systems were expanded in several steps in a westerly direction to include playgrounds and sports fields; at the end of the 1970s, the strip of land between the southern end of the park and Ilsungstrasse was finally redesigned as a green area.
The most serious interventions in the park facilities were the construction of a mini golf course at the Parkhäusl in 1967 and the construction of Schleifenstrasse at the end of the 1990s, for which the northernmost part of the park was abandoned. The expansion of the botanical garden for the 2000th anniversary of the city of Augsburg in 1985 also meant a smaller loss of space.
Schaezler fountain
The Schaezler fountain is located at the southern end of the seven-table system. The fountain, built in 1908, marks the transition to the Siebentischwald and is a memorial in honor of Baron Edmund von Schaezler, who, with the help of his foundation, made the expansion of the Siebentischanlage possible.
The fountain consists of an approximately 6 meter high arched portal and a pine nut attached to the top . Below the arch there is a wall with a shell limestone basin in front. Behind the fountain there is a massive stone bench on a small hill.
