The city garden is beautifully laid out and well cared for and it offers something especially for those who cannot or do not want to go on long tours. Individual stairs can be easily avoided, so the park is also suitable for prams, bicycles with trailers, wheelchairs and walkers. The Weser then gives it a little holiday mood.

The nucleus of today's city garden was created in 1790 on the slope of the High Bank. Here, the Vegesack country physician and botanist Albrecht Wilhelm Roth created the "Botanical Garden of A.W. Roth" ("Hortulus Botanicus A.W. Rothii"). Here he planted more than 600 species of trees and shrubs in pots, which he sourced from all over the world.
From 1923 onwards, the city of Vegesack gradually acquired plots of land on the high bank, which was necessary until 2000 to achieve the current size of the city garden.
At first there was a Weser beach between the gardens and the Weser with swimming facilities (I was able to experience this myself) until 1970, when the Weser had to be deepened and the beach had to make way for a sheet pile wall. As compensation, the people of Vegesack received their Weser promenade, which can be seen as part of the city garden. The city garden now stretches from the stately homes on the high bank on Weserstrasse right to the water and in front of the Vegesack - Lemwerder ferry to the former shipyard at the level of the now elevated Weser tugboat Regina.
At the eastern end, directly adjacent to the ferry dock, the "excursion establishment" Strandlust was built in 1898, which was a restaurant, hotel and entertainment venue for Vegesack residents until the 21st century.
The modern city garden is crossed by two parallel paths (the path near the Weser is the so-called Weser promenade), with numerous smaller paths leading through the plant world with its currently around 180 plant species from all over the world (Mongolian steppe maple, tree of heaven, copper serviceberry, gingerbread cake tree and many others). These paths partly lead up the high bank via flights of stairs to the stately homes, of which Villa Fritze is one of the most elaborate and famous buildings, not least because the villa was most recently home to the Vegesack local authority and the Bremen-Nord registry office.
In the city garden there is the opportunity for sports and games, and numerous events are also held every year, attracting large numbers of people.
