history
Mysterious Wolfskuhlenpark
To the north-east of today's park there has been the Wolfskuhle estate since the 16th century , of which nothing has been structurally preserved. As Wolfskuhlen one called pit-like traps for wolves. According to Buchenau, the pond that still exists in the park today was the remains of a brake (a scouring caused by a dike breach). There is no reliable historical evidence for the legend, according to which the name derives from an event in which a long time ago a carriage followed by wolves fell into a pond. In 1933 the garden of the former manor was converted into a public green area. The park near the airport was very closed and seemed inaccessible for many years. Only a few citizens stayed in the park, despite the close proximity to a dense development.
Redesign
In 2003 the small Wolfskuhlenpark was fundamentally redesigned. Wider and more comfortable paths improved the quality of stay. The park has been made accessible for leisure and recreation. A play area and a sunbathing lawn, seats by the water and a small lounge area for young people were added. The copper wolf paws by the artist Werner Henkel are reminiscent of the historical name. An allotment garden area connects directly to the park. Both form a larger natural area with an oak forest in which wood anemones ( Anemone nemorosa ) bloom at the end of March and beginning of April . The park entrance is on Kattenturmer Heerstraße. The small lake led to the settlement of a colony of gray herons ( Ardea cinerea ) with around 30 pairs.
