History of the park
- The German Rhododendron Society, founded in 1935, initiates the establishment of a show and viewing garden for rhododendrons.
- The ceremonial opening of the first 2 hectares of the park took place in June 1937.
- The botanical garden, which had already been established on the Osterdeich in 1905, was relocated to Horn in 1936, but was not rebuilt at its new location until 1949-51.
- In 2009, the private "Bremen Rhododendron Park Foundation" takes over the maintenance of the Rhododendron Park and Botanical Garden Bremen.
Garden of human rights
- Since 2003, the park has also been a "Garden of Human Rights", part of the global art project INSCRIRE.
- The 30 articles of the UN Convention on Human Rights are immortalized on bronze ribbons along the park paths.
- At four park entrances, the texts begin with Article 1. The educational article leads from the park to the botanika environmental education facility.
- Under the direction of Witha Winter v. Gregory, the Friends of the Garden of Human Rights take care of the bronze ribbons.
botanika and Restaurant & Café Bloom
- In the middle of the park is Bremen's green world of discovery: the botanika, operated by the municipal botanika GmbH.
- All year round and regardless of the weather, the botanika has show greenhouses with non-hardy rhododendrons and azaleas as well as a butterfly and monkey house.
- Right next door, the Bloom Restaurant & Café invites you to take a break.
- The view from the terrace extends over the heathland to Allmers Park.
