The English landscape garden was built in the 19th century in the north of the city, below the Neroberg, along the stream valley of the Schwarzbach creek.

The park was created in the style of an English landscape garden in 1897 and 1898, when the town was fashioned as a major spa.

[2] It features singular trees, around 6000 different kinds of plants,[1] the Schweizer Häuschen, and six stone bridges.

It was erected in 1909, designed by Karl Krause and hewn by Franz Pritel,[3] in memory of battles at Wörth, Wissembourg, Sedan and Paris.

[4] The Schwarzbach creek is dammed a few times in the park, creating ponds and waterfalls,[1] and is lined with meadows and a playground.
