Kurpark Lüneburg

Hopefully you are staying in Lüneburg for several days, so you will have enough time to take a stroll through the Kurpark. Generously designed lawns are ideal for sporting activities such as badminton, Frisbee and jogging. Miniature golf and tennis are also popular - or take a relaxing bath in the sun. Even better – visit the graduation house and enjoy the healthy saliferous air, which is formed by the irrigation of brine over brush-wood. This bracing climate is beneficiary to the people of Lüneburg’s health since 1910. If you can’t travel to the North Sea, just grab a good book and enjoy this salty oasis.

 

The generous Kurpark was designed and built on 23 hectares in 1906. The architect Franz Krüger designed the bath house and health facilities as well as a pump- and reading room. He also supervised the construction of the new water tower in 1907.

The tennis courts were built in 1913. Bands provided musical entertainment. After the Second World War, the British occupying power confiscated the building and the people of Lüneburg grew potatoes and other vegetables in the Kurpark. Today, during the summer months, the park houses concerts and open-air movie theatres.
