Tips

FV Botanischer Garten und Theresienstein

December 29, 2022

The private Christian Langheinrich donated the property behind the labyrinth to the beautification association in 1886. In line with romantic ideas, a grotto was created there, a cherub's head was carved into the natural stone above it and, in keeping with tradition, a plaque was dedicated to the donor. Grottoes were popular in landscape gardens; they transitioned from the cultivated park to the 'natural' part just like here, where the grotto marks the start of a steep serpentine path leading down the slope to the old diabase quarry.

The founder, Christian Langheinrich, was a rope maker. These cords are called North German, because they had to cross (weave) long, thin ropes (cords) to make thick ropes. For the long ropes, a 400 meter long, free track was needed to braid the ropes. This later became a street in Hamburg: the Reeperbahn.

Theresienstein Park is located in the north-east of the inner city of Hof an der Saale in Bavaria. Its history dates back to 1816, making the Theresienstein one of the oldest public parks in Germany. The park is named after Queen Therese Charlotte, the wife of the Bavarian King Ludwig I. From 1861 to 1899, the Hof city councilor Johann Gottlob Thomas had a significant influence on the design.
The park was included in the Bavarian state garden show in Hof in 1994. In 2003 the Theresienstein was awarded the title of Germany's most beautiful park.
