Hessenpark

Linz, Oberösterreich, Österreich

Hessenplatz (also known as Hessenpark) is a park in the Inner City district of Linz.

It has borne its name since April 1934. The square was initially called Marktplatz, but the name was changed to Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz during the First World War and finally to Pestalozziplatz in the subsequent republic. The square blends into the image of the chessboard-like Neustadt district, but unlike the other blocks, it is not built on but has a green park.
