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.

As early as 1990, the Richard-Wagner-Hain was listed as a garden monument. Since then, the city of Leipzig has invested a lot of its own funds and subsidies in order to maintain and repair the system. She accepts the responsibility of owning an "uncomfortable" and at the same time intensively used monument.

The aim of monument preservation is to preserve the garden complex, which was conceived in the Weimar Republic but designed and built under National Socialism, as a testimony to the times. It is being treated in a conservational sense. In the western part of the Richard-Wagner-Hain, the pergola and the terrace walls have already been renovated in accordance with the preservation order; in 2022 the grand staircase and the bastions will follow. The renovation measures of the 2020s were financed with funds from the federal government, the Free State of Saxony and the city of Leipzig...."!
