Germany, Hamburg, "Planten un Blomen" is an approximately 47 hectare park in the centre of Hamburg.

The name "Planten un Blomen" is in the North German dialect & it means “Plants & Flowers”. The founder & first director of the botanical garden in the Hamburg walls, Johann G. C. Lehmann, planted a plane tree in November 1821, the first tree in the park. The tree is located still today at the Dammtor train station entrance between the large tropical glasshouse & the Congress Centre, the tree is a natural symbol representing the beginnings of the gardens.

The park is a popular destination for the inhabitants in the Hamburg metropolitan area & tourists; it is part of a green zone that stretches horizontally through the whole nearly 2 million city down to the harbour.

 

The park is famous for its water-light concerts, public theatre & music performances. In addition to the gardens, there is a large playground in the southern park area; the park is open all year round there is no entrance fee.

 

📌...From May to September, the water-light concerts are presented daily at 10 pm with a bi-weekly changing 30 minutes program. The fountain & lighting is operated by three technicians during the show & tuned to harmonize with the music. Every evening several hundreds of people, with or without a picnic, sit on the lawns around the lake to watch the intense spectacle...unless it rains, the water games still take place.

 

👉 One World one Dream,
