"... The idea for the public gardens came up at the end of the 18th century. Parks were to be created that could serve for recreation, education and training.
In addition to forest and meadow areas, ponds, water features, resting places, monuments and pavilions were also created.
The layout of the Volksgarten Lütgendortmund corresponds to the character of a forest park. It combines water areas, forest and open landscape into a functional green area with a total size of approx. 10 hectares. ..."

"... In 1885 citizens demanded a site for a public garden in the Dortmund area as a counterpart to the massive industrialization of nature. On the initiative of the Lütgendortmund bailiff Westermann, a 1.5-hectare site was purchased in 1898, but this was by no means sufficient.
In 1904, the idea of creating the Volksgarten was revived, and the community representatives spoke out in favor of creating a 6.5-hectare Volksgarten. Since the financing did not seem sufficiently secured, Harpener Bergbau AG was asked for financial assistance. Finally, in 1906, the district administrator of Lütgendortmund approved the construction of the public park. A Volksgarten management commission was formed and the project by landscape architect Martin Peters won the tender. At the same time, the planning of a festival hall for the Volksgarten was well received. From 1907 to 1910, the Volksgarten was laid out in several construction phases, and it was opened in 1911. ..."
