The Aachener Stadtpark is a 200,000 square meter green oasis in the middle of the city center. The beginnings of this large park can be traced back to the year 1853. From this point on, the city gardener Carl Jancke put on a garden by Peter Joseph Lenné for the local hospital. Peter Joseph Lenné was the most renowned German garden artist of his time and general director of the Royal Prussian Gardens.
When, with the construction of new spa facilities between 1914 and 1916, the importance of the city of Aachen as a spa and seaside resort was revitalized, the facility was adapted in essential parts to the needs of spa guests and fundamentally redesigned. Over time, additional space was added, so that today the city park is composed of the city garden, the spa garden, the former evangelic cemetery and the Farwick park.
Because of its cultural and horticultural importance, the park was registered with all its components in 1995 as a garden monument in the monument list of the city.
