The Stadtgarten was established in 1896 under the then Mayor Vattmann as a public park, the first of its kind in Gelsenkirchen, on the site of the former Schalke farm. It was opened to the public in 1897 as Kaiser Wilhelm Park. It was expanded in 1901 and 1902, 1912, 1914, and 1918. In 1933, it was redesigned according to plans by garden director Simon, and it roughly corresponds to its current form. In 1944, the Stadtgarten was badly damaged by bombing and repaired in 1949.

The Stadtgarten is beautifully landscaped and also has a wonderful pond!

The Stadtgarten is a public park in the Gelsenkirchen-Altstadt district, originally 6 hectares in size and now around 22 hectares in size. It was opened in 1897 by then-Mayor Friedrich Wilhelm Vattmann on the 100th birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm I and named after the ruler.
