A meeting place for everyone

Have you ever heard of the bald-backed wood ant, or the pink-flowering toothwort? Probably not (even though they all live here), unless you're a seasoned botanist. But that doesn't matter in the slightest; you can simply enjoy Ernst Ehrlicher Park. This green oasis is centrally located in Hildesheim's city center, making it the perfect place to relax after sightseeing, shopping, or after work. Stroll leisurely through the approximately five-hectare park, named after a former mayor and now serving as Hildesheim's city park. Delight in the fragrant, expansive meadows, shady trees, and shimmering ponds. Kingfishers, tawny owls, common pipistrelle bats, and other species share the Hildesheimers' fondness for their green haven; it's simply a charming little piece of paradise. Artists have also been able to realize their ideas here; for example, a rose labyrinth with a path length of more than half a kilometer was created – as a “place of encounter for everyone”.

Love locks

Lovers can attach their love locks to a metal heart in Ernst-Ehrlicher-Park, thus immortalizing their love in this beautiful spot by the arched bridge between the park's ponds. Another heart can be found in Hildesheim at the Blocks(berg) Bridge near the Bishop's Mill.

Playground

The newly designed playground offers children plenty of space to romp, climb, slide and play. Among gigantic reeds and flower stems made of naturally treated wood, little ones can really let off steam and feel at ease.

Rose labyrinth 

The Rose Labyrinth in Ernst-Ehrlicher-Park is a labyrinth of a special kind – named and designed after the Hildesheim Rose. Surrounded by trees and wild roses, this artwork serves less as a maze and more as a meeting place, hosting small cultural events, especially in summer.
