Elbauenpark

The Elbauenpark is a family and leisure park in Magdeburg, capital city of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

After the Second World War, the barracks were used by the western Group of Soviet Forces in Germany.

Before the construction of the park all explosive ordnance, projectiles and countless rubble from the war had to be removed in order to realize this project.

In just a few years, a park was created on this former field of war debris, attracting numerous visitors.

Throughout the season (April to October), numerous events take place in the park; in 2016 and 2017, the VOX television programme Grill den Henssler was a guest on the lake stage for three editions each.
