Sporting Activities

If you like sports, you can swing your clubs at the mini-golf course from April to October. 18 holes of varying difficulty await you. If you prefer to use a table tennis bat, you can demonstrate your sporting talent on numerous classic concrete slabs. You can also prove your skills on the boules court or use the Finn track for your running training. This offers you a surface that is 30 cm higher than the normal pavement and is easy on your joints.

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.

In the foreground is the Bürgerpark. In the background is the Meierei restaurant.

Gastronomy

You can end the day relaxing with a cool drink and enjoying the green view in one of the four restaurants. How about a piece of cake at Emma am See, a beer at the Meierei or a fried potato at the Waldbühne? Or perhaps you would prefer a sophisticated afternoon tea at the Parkhotel?

More Information about the Bürgerpark

Everything from the Beginning

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.

For more information, please visit the Bürgerpark homepage.

The Legend of the Bürgerpark

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!
