North Park

Today, the North Park is a classic park facility comprising lawn areas and groups of trees. Roughly 90 years ago, it still had an important function for the population in the northern part of the city. Director of Horticulture, Rudolf Korte, described this in an article "Vom Essener Grün" like this: "… the 2.5-ha North Park gives a very friendly touch to the northern industrial district, dominated by the hammering of everyday life." (Deutschlands Städtebau Essen, Dari-Verlag, H. Ehlgötz, 1925).
