Description
The Killesbergpark (Höhenpark Killesberg) is an urban public park of half a square kilometre (123 acres) in Stuttgart, Germany.
The park dates back to the horticultural show of 1939. Before the show, a large area of the park had been a quarry. It was transformed into a park with exhibition sites for the show, and has remained, hosting horticultural events, including the “Bundesgartenschau” and the IGA (Internationale Gartenbauausstellung).
There is also a 15-inch narrow-gauge Killesberg railway with two diesel and two steam locomotives, which have been fixtures in the park since 1950.
The Killesberg observation tower is 40m high overlooking the park. It is cable-stayed tower construction designed by Jörg Schlaich, using cable-stayed bridge technology.
