Amtsgarten Ottersleben - Böckelmann's Park

The former mansion park is located in the south of the capital city Magdeburg, in the Ottersleben district, and dates back to 1874. It was designed for Wilhelm August Böckelmann, a farmer, lord of the manor and factory owner, who also bestowed his name upon the park.

The scenic setting of Böckelmann's park is dominated by stately old trees, the fountain and a lake.

Solitary trees were planted at strategic places to create depth, perspective and colour compositions. Among the many beautiful trees are colourful ash-leaved maples, copper beeches and organically grown gingko trees. Every turn along the winding paths offers a new scenic view.
