Very beautiful and, by Berlin standards, pleasantly quiet, rather overgrown park with a pond. On the north side there are significant differences in height and therefore many paths with stairs and beautiful wooden bridges.

In addition to the Villa Rheinberg, which is used as a daycare center, the original buildings still retain their arcaded staircase and two busts by Karl Cauer. They depict the councilor and his wife, Margarethe. The original view of the Havel and Spree rivers has been lost due to the trees that have since grown taller. Behind the columned hall is a sculpture by the sculptor Ernst Otto Eichwald entitled "Pelican Couple." A pedunculate oak and a copper beech are protected as natural monuments. All are decaying.

The park is located in the Westend district of Berlin, in the Berlin-Charlottenburg district. It is located on the former Spandauer Berg, which has glacial origins. The commercial councilor and magazine publisher Ludwig von Schaeffer-Voit acquired the site in the 1860s. From 1867 to 1868 he had a classicist villa, Ruhwald Castle, built and a landscape park laid out. After neighborhood disputes, he sold the property to the entrepreneur Johann Hoff, who had a cavalier's house with an arcade built in 1873. The cavalier's house no longer stands, but the arcade does. The Bavarian beer brewer Conrad Bechmann also bought parts of the site.
From 1936 to 1942, the National Socialists had the Ruhwald public park with a pond built in its current form with Polish and Jewish forced laborers. The park is a listed building.
