The origins of the city's garden today lie in the collective and separatist gardens that existed since 802 Benedictine Monastery in San Alban. In the years 1672 to 1693 Count Christophe Rudolph of the Stadion Gardens was artistically designed. Bauer has the electorate of the late 17th century Lothar Franz von Schonborn on this site, the "favorite" summer residence, a Baroque-style park with its own pleasure palace after the model of French and Italian gardens. Much of the praise went by the contemporary Gartenkunstwerk during the 1792/93 war years.
The upper part of the destroyed area served on November 3, 1803 as the site of the execution of the legendary thief commander Johannes Bucler - known as Schinderhannes - and 19 members of his gangs who raided and stole passengers in Hunsrück and in Nahe and in Taunus.
After the acquisition of the site by the city of Mainz, the Heinz-Heinz Heinz Peter 1819/1820 established between the Fort of Kartos and the banks of the Rhine, a new facility in the English garden style. Contemporary literature praised the landscape garden as a "small paradise". He gave his current garden face but only the Sismayer brothers, who had previously designed Frankfurt in the Mengarten.
To celebrate the year 2000 anniversary of the city in 1962, a house for birds and a farm was created for reading and comfort. The statue of Baroque Hercules and the trunk of the river god Reynos was reconstructed from the old favorite park. Old flower houses no longer exist.
