Very beautiful park in Krefeld between "Kuhleshütte, Johansenaue, Sandberg and Giesenweg". This includes a manor house from 1830 (today: Center for Practical Teacher Training), a large pond with ducks and swans and the Botanical Garden with its succulent collection. It got its name from a former farm that once stood there called "Schoenwater". But that also fits well with the beautiful pond complex, which is also part of the park. The park is a listed building and is a designated LSG (landscape conservation area).
A visit, even for the whole family, is worthwhile!!👍

Schönwasserpark is a park in the north of Krefeld's Oppum district and is the city's first "public park". The Botanical Garden is also located here. At the beginning of the 18th century, an old farm stood on the site of today's park called "Schoenwater". The park itself is a landscape park from the 19th century. The farm was sold to the tobacco manufacturer Johann Helgers, who built a manor house here in 1830. Over time, the house and its later extensions also came into the possession of the de Greiff family and from 1845 served as the country estate of the Schreibler family. In 1891, the restorer Johann Bends acquired the building and set up an entertainment and excursion restaurant. In 1910, the building became the property of the city of Krefeld. A little later, the landscape park was rebuilt as part of emergency work and extended along the Johansenaue and Crön (today "Crönpark"). Due to a lack of care, negative economic influences and the effects of war, the property fell into disrepair. During a major attack on Krefeld on January 29, 1945, the Schönwasser Park was hit by numerous bombs. The threatened demolition of the current Schönwasser House was prevented by local politicians in the mid-1950s. Today, the house, which was built with financial support from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, is home to a state-run teacher training college. As part of EUROEGA 2002plus, the park was redesigned again and is used by visitors in its current form for local recreation. The park is a listed monument and is a designated landscape conservation area.
