Tips

Beautiful public garden where nature is largely left to itself.
There are some large main paths, some of which are also paved, so that you can also bike there.
But for the most part only beaten paths, where it goes over hill and dale and root system.
At one of the entrances there is also a large and, above all, clean playground with lots of climbing opportunities for the children.

"... Before the beginning of the 19th century, Bövinghausen consisted only of a few farms and town houses along the provincial road built by Napoleon in 1808.
In 1818, 147 people lived in 16 houses in the Bövinghausen farming community. At the beginning of the second half of the 19th century, the boom in coal also began in Bövinghausen, since between 1853 and 1858 a total of four collieries were opened in the vicinity.
The strongest phase of the boom began at the beginning of the 20th century with the construction of the Zollern II/IV colliery (1898–1904). The colliery, built in the style of garden city architecture, was considered one of the most modern in the country. As a result, an immigration boom - mainly by workers from Prussia and Silesia - began in the flourishing industrial town. The number of inhabitants rose from 531 in 1895 to 1124 by the beginning of the 20th century. After a long tug of war, Bövinghausen was finally incorporated into Dortmund in 1928. Castrop-Rauxel, Bochum and Dortmund were all interested in taking up the economically important village, but the residents decided on Dortmund. In 1954, the Zollern II/IV colliery was shut down because the profitability of the operation was increasing due to increasing
Subsidy costs were no longer given.
Bövinghausen is surrounded by numerous green areas. Specifically, this is the Bövinghauser Volksgarten, which stretches eastwards from the center near the train station and merges into the Lütgendortmund Volksgarten via the nature reserve.
The Bövinghausen public garden was created in the second half of the 19th century and in the public park movement that was emerging in Europe.
The two ponds as well as the Dellwiger Bach and the Schultesiepen are owned by the city. The northern pond, the larger of the two ponds, is fed by the Dellwiger Bach via a deflection structure and directly by the Schultesiepen, which has only little water. The southern and smaller pond is fed directly by the Dellwiger Bach, which flows into the pond. Since the two ponds are connected, both the Dellwiger Bach and the Schultesiepen flow through the ponds in order to continue flowing after an approx. 2.0 m high dam wall in the bed of the Dellwiger Bach. ..."
