In the Middle Ages, the meadows belonged to the Augustinian monastery Neuwerk (1118-1530), which was located northeast above the cube meadow. Despite its proximity to the city, it has remained undeveloped to this day. Since the Middle Ages here was the garlic Wednesday held (folk festival in the Pentecostal period) until he was banned in 1870 by police. In 2002, this tradition was resumed. The name is likely to be related to this folk festival, as were typical for these cubes, but were in the Middle Ages on the straw court island and craftsmen who produced cubes.
In addition to three monuments (Fiebiger, Völkerschlacht, Friedenseichen), tombstones from the period after the Battle of Nations in 1813 can be found in the meadows, when the dead had to be buried here due to lack of space. In addition to a small sports field, seats and sunbeds, a stylized ship was set up as a scaffold. The park was last flooded in 2011 and 2013 by the flood.
