This area was planned along the East German urban planning principles of »light and air for the socialist community«. After the closure of two schools that were no longer needed, the school garden, a favourite among residents, was opened up as a place to meet. Beginning in 2007, Hochzeitspark was gradually added. Twice a year, a festival is held and new trees are planted by bridal couples, people celebrating the birth of a new child, or those who wish to celebrate similar events with this wonderful tradition.
The artistically designed »wedding table«, decorated with hearts, birds and the words »yes« and »no«, and surrounded by rose beds, is not just for bridal couples. The long wooden table with benches and stools can also be used as a meeting place. The trees are not only sponsored by bridal couples; to coincide with a special event, for instance a birth, graduation or company anniversary, you can plant a tree for around 100 euros and you will receive a certificate with a site map. Due to the popularity of this tradition, Hochzeitspark has increased in size several times. This barrier-free park is also accessible for wheelchair users.
