Eutritzscher Park Pond

Originally, the wet stream rivulet of the Northern Rietzschke was located on the site of the present park, which was also called the "Erlengrund". After the incorporation of Eutritzsch 01.01.1890 a development plan was set up for the suburb, which provides a green area for the unsuitable as a construction site terrain. Although the Eutritzscher Park was already planned in 1898/1899 in its entirety by the Leipzig garden director O. Wittenberg (1834-1918), his installation was then in two sections. From 1899 to 1904, initially the southern part was created, the Northern Rietzschke z. T. was laid and vaulted. Here a 9,460 m² park pond was dug, which served as an ice rink in winter. In the years 1913/1914 also the northern part of the park was created. In the second half of the 20th century (before 1951), the Eutritzscher Park was named Arthur-Bretschneider-Park (after the teacher and LDPD politician A. Bretschneider, 1886-1949). Since the 1990s, the name "Arthur-Bretschneider-Park" is officially no longer used by the city administration, but in the vernacular it still means so.

Playground and benches are alive.
