The six-hectare Vegesack Municipal Garden was formerly a botanical garden created by the physician and eminent botanist Dr. Albrecht Roth at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.

A Gem Directly on the Weser

The parks of the Municipal Garden Vegesack includes the areas of the Weser promenade, former private gardens at the foot of the slope and the historically grown municipal garden, with its decorative beds and the rose slope. The promenade, which is planted with a double avenue of spherical maple trees, runs parallel to the Weser, which flows through a narrow bend through Vegesack. You can enjoy charming views: watch the shipping traffic from afar from the promenade or enjoy the view of the Weser and surrounding green spaces from the terraces of the Stadtgarten.

Botanical Rarities

The botanist Dr. Albrecht Roth (1757-1834) once planted numerous trees and shrubs, including many botanical rarities, on his property on the steep bank of the River Weser in Vegesack. After his death, various wealthy citizens acquired Roth's land on the Weser and built villas with gardens that stretched from the slopes of the Weser to the riverbank. Despite the construction, a large part of the valuable woodland was preserved for decades. Stairs and paths were built into the sloping terrain, decorative beds were designed with roses and perennials. In 1923, a new street was built along the banks of the Weser as a promenade for the residents of Vegesack with access to the town via the Stadtgarten. In 1929, the town of Vegesack acquired a large area of the former botanical garden, the origin of today's public town garden.
