The Ringpark (also called Glacis[1]) is a green area around the old town of Würzburg. It was created on the site of the ramparts that were razed in the 19th century.The Würzburg Glacis initially consisted of an area surrounded by walls and ramparts, sloping slightly outwards and up to 50 meters wide. A poplar avenue was laid out in front of the city walls in 1804. The glacis then served as pasture, arable land, gardening and viticulture as well as for parade purposes and was increasingly designed as a park from 1820.[2] In 1868 the city of Würzburg bought the glacis site from the Kingdom of Bavaria. Walls and bastions or works[3] were demolished in the course of the softening that began in 1870[4], and the ditches up to 12 meters deep were filled in.Source: Wikipedia
