Popular sports event "Hammer Lauf" in Thörls Park

Thörls Park is an approx. 5 hectare large public park in the Hamburg district of Hamm , east of the Burgstraße underground station .

It is located on the Geest slope north of Hammer Landstrasse and is bounded in the northwest by Sievekingdamm and in the northeast by Meridianstrasse and Hirtenstrasse. To the east, there is an elongated green corridor that runs parallel to Hammer Landstrasse and the underground line running on the Geesthang towards Billstedt . The park includes a playground, a dog run area and an art sculpture Große Panthea by the sculptor Wilhelm Ohm. At the southwest end of the park, near the subway station, there is an underground public shelter from 1968.

The name of the park is reminiscent of the industrialist Friedrich Thörl , who acquired the area, including the villa and ancillary buildings, in 1884. In 1928 he sold it to the city of Hamburg; Since the 1930s the villa has served as a training center for various Nazi organizations. In 1943 the villa and park were completely destroyed in the air raids on Hamburg . After the war, one of the largest rubble treatment plants in Hamburg worked here until 1954. Here, the rubble from the particularly badly hit eastern parts of the city was collected, crushed and then transported with rubble tracks to a former gravel pit, today's Öjendorfer Park .
