The ideas was Hugo Oertel , and Heinrich Theodor Hoch , a major Munich reality owner financed the park. They implemented this idea for Munich based on the models of the Prater in Vienna , Luna Park on Coney Island and Tivoli in Copenhagen . The Nymphenburg Volksgarten offered attractions for 30,000 visitors, including several restaurants with a ballroom, a hippodrome , various rides and variety shows .
