At 264 meters high, the Lousberg is a striking elevation on the northern edge of the historic center of the city of Aachen, which was designed as a forest and mountain park at the beginning of the 19th century according to plans by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe. The origin of the name is not entirely clear.

The ascent and descent is easy to manage on well-developed paths. The view is definitely rewarding!

Here's a possible paraphrase in your own words:

In 1807, at the suggestion of Napoleon's prefect Lameth, the Aachen city council decided to plant the Lousberg and transform it into a public landscape park. Many citizens generously supported this project with donations.
