The open-air enclosures in the heart of the park provide a change of pace for the animals. Here you will be greeted by donkeys, pigs and the like. In spring, with a bit of luck, you can marvel at the cute offspring.

The Bürgerpark was created in the second half of the 19th century and was already designed especially for the citizens at that time. An initiative was founded to green the area of the former Bürgerweide and to maintain it permanently. Today, the park is still run by the Bürgerparkverein. It is mainly financed by donations and activities such as the Bürgerpark raffle.

According to an old legend, Countess Emma von Lesum donated the area to the citizens of Bremen in 1032 because they complained that there was not enough grazing land for their cattle. The good-natured countess declared that the citizens would receive as much land as a man could walk around from sunrise to sunset. However, since her brother-in-law Duke Benno of Saxony was afraid of losing his inheritance, he chose a physically impaired man for this task. Contrary to his expectations, however, he was able to walk around a whole 400 hectares; the current area of the Bürgerpark.
Whether you believe this legend is up to you!
