The Chinese Garden

Highlight • Structure

In China, there are basically two different styles of gardens. The northern or imperial style is characterized by enormous dimensions and precious materials such as marble or colorful glazed roof tiles. The Chinese Garden of the Ruhr University corresponds to the southern Chinese style: simple materials - natural stone - wood and bricks - and restrained colors of white, black, gray and dark red. These rather small gardens with their poetic, picturesque scenery seem as if there were no other architect than nature itself. This style of garden has been cultivated for centuries by scholars, artists and high officials.

Architecture and nature combine forms of calm and movement in harmonious interaction. The water: calm as a pond or fountain, moving as a spring or waterfall. The pavilions invite you to linger in peace. On the walkways that run through the entire complex, the visitor moves to the most beautiful viewpoints in the garden.

The Chinese Garden was created on an area of approx. 1000 square meters. The pond takes up about half of this area. 600 tons of rock were moved for the rocky landscapes. They were piled up under the supervision of Chinese specialists. The typical materials such as wooden elements, bricks and tiles were manufactured in China, transported to Germany by sea and assembled here under the supervision of Chinese experts.
