The city gardeners were busy doing their spring cleaning. A beautiful area.

Hiking

I've run there many times, but I didn't know how the facility came about. It's just beautiful there.
The following information about Richard Wagner Hain can be found at Leipzig.de: “… Today, the Richard Wagner Hain is a popular place for relaxation and numerous leisure activities. The facility is part of the Leipzig Auwald landscape and bird sanctuary. At the same time it is an important testimony to the garden architecture of the 20th century and last but not least
Building activity under National Socialism - despite its recreational value, this should not be forgotten.

Hiking

The Richard-Wagner-Hain is an intensively used and popular area. It forms the link between the Clara-Zetkin-Park in the south, the Palmengarten in the southwest, and the adjacent green spaces on both sides of the Elsterbecken. At the same time, it is an uncomfortable monument: the objective of monument preservation is to preserve the garden area, conceived during the Weimar Republic but designed and built during National Socialism, as a testament to its time. As early as 2022, the bank terraces and the bank staircase on the west side of the Richard-Wagner-Hain were restored while preserving the existing structure.
