    The park was laid out in 1802 as a pleasure garden on the Brill by the Elector Palatine Commerce Councilor Peter de Weerth.

      The Deweerth Garden in Wuppertal is a popular meeting place near the Luisenviertel. It is due to be given a new coat of paint by 2023. Wuppertal residents can help with this.

      Textiles were once bleached here. Later, between 1802 and 1805, Peter de Weerth had a garden of around three hectares laid out on the land of his inherited bleaching estate. The first landscape garden in the valley was created according to plans by the great Prussian garden artist Peter Joseph Lenné. After the city of Wuppertal acquired the property in 1830, the area was converted into a city park and opened to all citizens - to this day. The area on the edge of the Luisenviertel is a popular meeting place, especially in summer. Colorful life between pubs, cafés and sandboxes.

      For Wuppertal's mayor Uwe Schneidewind, the Deweerth Garden plays a key role "as the western gateway to the city center in the urban development of Elberfeld". But the area is getting old. The first plans to renovate the garden were already in place in summer 2020. But Corona also put a stop to this municipal initiative. Now the planners in Barmer Town Hall want to try again to give the green space a new look. And with the creative support of the citizens.

        The park was created in 1802 as a pleasure garden at Brill by the Elector Palatine commercial councilor Peter de Weerth. The Luisenpark and the Deweerth Garden were originally a connected park, which was only later in the 19th century divided into two parts by the construction of Luisenstraße.

        From 1937 onwards, the equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I was erected in the park, which had been moved here from Brausenwerther Platz. The statue was dismantled in 1943 and melted down for use in the war. The park was renovated in the post-war period. The base of the Kaiser monument was preserved and has been the memorial for the victims of National Socialism since 1958.

        The eastern part of the original park site now belongs to the adjacent Herder School.

        In 2003, an existing underground car park under the commercial buildings in the south of the square was expanded to include 100 additional spaces under the garden. For this purpose, extensive earthworks were carried out in the park.[6] During this work, fragments of ceramics were discovered on a 2 m × 3 m area, dating to the La Tène period between 600 and 400 BC. After the construction work was completed, the garden was almost restored to its original state.
