Pollheimerpark
The redesign in 1999 resulted in contiguous lawns and a reduction in the number of paths. The interpretation of the central park area as a memorial grove, introduced in the interwar period, was retained. Eight monuments commemorate the significance of the history of the military, war and war victims for the people of Wels.
Due to the large crowns of the old trees, large parts of the park are shaded. However, the park benches, which are not permanently installed, can be moved in response to weather conditions. Passers-by and park visitors take up this offer, especially in the summer heat or for a short break.
Although conceived as a place of peace and contemplation, the park cannot really live up to this claim even after the redesign due to its location on the busy Pollheimerstraße and the associated heavy exhaust and noise emissions.
As further stages of a three-stage remodelling, the city is considering paving work and new plaza solutions on the narrow sides of the park in the Ledererturm and Ringstraße/Zugang Freiung areas. Perimeter planting, which is planned as the final stage towards Pollheimerstraße, is intended to reduce the strong exhaust and noise emissions in the park.
