Immediately south of the cathedral you will find the small park at Fürstenwall. This park also dates back to part of the former fortifications of the old town of Magdeburg. The Cleve Bastion used to stand here, which has now been partially uncovered.

In addition to the actual Fürstenwall, the park at Fürstenwall is also a result of Magdeburg's fortress history. After the Magdeburg fortress was abolished in the 19th century, the Cleve Bastion was leveled in 1872. The area thus freed up was to be used to commemorate those who died in the wars of 1866, 1870 and 1871 with the "war memorial" erected in 1877. In 1900, garden director Johann Gottlieb Schoch had the green area around the newly created memorial hill designed as a park.

The area has remained almost unchanged since then. It has been extensively renovated in recent years, most recently in 2020, including replanting the valuable tree population with flowering shrubs and perennials and renewing paths.
