Leimbach Park

[6][7] As of 2019[update] a narrow-gauge railway track connection runs northwards from the Leimbach Park, via the Landratsamt district government office to the Wiesloch Feldbahn and Industrial Museum.

[12] The tendered construction works for the parks included 12,000 cubic metres of earth-moving, placement of 200 tonnes of stone/gravel, 2,000 square-metres of road construction, 90 cubic metres of reinforced concrete, and creation of a simple Aluminium cycle path and footbridge to replace the two larger bridges being removed.

[15][16] During 2013 the former administration building was sold to Barbara and Thomas Oestreich; then renovated with new floors and ceiling, and the demolition of previous extensions.

[17] The former administration building had been the site of a joint-fire drill by the firefighters of Wiesloch and Walldorf in June 2002,[18] but later genuinely caught fire on 22 August 2015.

[22] On 23 June 2013 two local urban golf teams from Walldorf and Wiesloch offered introductory taster courses in the sport as a way to explore the area designated for the future Leimbach Park.

[30][31] It was planned that in late-2016 the area around the park would be sown with wildflower seeds to form a meadow, following a positive experiment on Baiertaler Straße.

After the Cities of Wiesloch and Walldorf purchased the land and bridge, they were deemed to be successors and liable for the costs for demolition and replacement.

[34][41] Following the construction on the Leimbach Park, the remaining surrounding plots of land from the former Tonwaren Industrie Wiesloch estate were sold for development use.

[42] As of 2016[update], the narrow gauge tracks leading from the Wiesloch Feldbahn and Industrial Museum ended at the road crossing at the north entrance of the Leimbach Park.

[44] The track extension was discussed by the cities of Walldorf and Wiesloch during the meeting of the Zweckverband Metropolpark Wiesloch-Walldorf joint association on 16 March 2017.
