Before the university hospital moved to the outskirts of the city in 1985, the park was primarily the hospital park adjacent to the clinic site on Goethestrasse. Like other parks, its origins go back to a private garden belonging to the van Halfern family of manufacturers.

Hiking

Mix of tightly landscaped park with grove. It contains quite a few old trees, for which it is known, according to the website of Aachen Tourismus.

"The former folk park and private garden of the Von Halfern family offers a nice opportunity to take a pleasant walk and relax on the meadow. It owes its former name 'alter Klinikums-Park' (old clinic park) to the use of the park by the old university clinic on Goethestraße. The park is accessible from several streets. However, the easiest to find is the entrance on Goethestraße."

With the new name (since 2017, previously Klinikumpark) of this former private garden of the von Halfern family, the city of Aachen is honoring a Nobel Peace Prize winner (awarded in 1993): Nelson MANDELA (born 1918, died 2013) dedicated his life to the non-violent struggle against apartheid policy in South Africa. Aachen and Cape Town are twinned (if you are interested, see => aachen-kapstadt.de/partnerschaft ).
