Unlike other city parks, it was created from scratch, not by adapting forest areas. In 1877, the landowner of significant areas, including on the southern outskirts of Wrocław, including parts of Borek and nearby Partynice, a Wrocław merchant and philanthropist Julius Schottländer, handed the park over to the city in exchange for connecting Borek to the municipal gas, water and sewage network.
On the land donated to the city until 1892, landscape architect Hugo Richter and botanist Ferdinand Cohn created a landscape park with glades and a large pond, over which the brewery Georg Haase built a stylish restaurant with a high tower. There is no restaurant today, there is a park with a pond with fountains, a Landsberg observation deck above it, and Bender Hill with a small gazebo, paths, glades, well-kept flowerbeds and a perennial garden.
