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.

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.
