For many people, the anniversary grove in the area of Ziegelhorststrasse, Bayernstrasse and Warbruckstrasse is a place of relaxation, but at the same time a real meeting place. This is where people meet, drink a coffee at the booth and socialize.
There are three old people’s homes and a number of apartments suitable for the elderly in the immediate vicinity. Their residents are often single and like to use the “Jubilee grove communication center at the green Büdchen”. The business operations in Duisburg always ensure flowery experiences in the changing seasons.
The expansion of the anniversary grove as a park took place between 1908 and 1912. At that time, the facilities consisted of a playing field, soccer field and fistball field, a roller skating rink, a rose garden, a concert area and a refreshment hall. The park received its name on the occasion of the government anniversary of Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1913. So next year the 110th anniversary can be celebrated.
Shady cookies
to relax
The historical qualities of the complex could be preserved with the plants that exist today, the rose and perennial garden. At a refreshment hall there are shady places to rest and relax. From here you have a wonderful view of the rose garden. In the anniversary grove there are three playgrounds and a streetball field.
And in the summer months, music has played a major role for many years. Even now, the traditional park concerts are very popular. With the friendly support of the Duisburg-Hamborn Lions Club, the cultural office of the city of Duisburg is again offering nine concerts this year. The concerts start at 11 a.m. on Sundays and admission is always free.
On with the duo
Terbonssen semolina
The bandoneon friends in Essen kicked things off last Sunday. The response was almost overwhelming. Tomorrow, Sunday, May 22nd, we will continue with the Terbonssen-Grieß duo. Two guitars, a lot of good mood and handmade, acoustic music. These are Terbonssen semolina. The musical spectrum ranges from the 60s to current chart hits. On June 29, the Bergsteirer present the finest folk and hit music on the Styrian harmonica and invite you to sway and sing along.
On June 5th (Pentecost Sunday) viewers can look forward to the music group “True Friends”. Fans of folk music will get their money’s worth on June 12th. Then the “Bergische Egerländer” will be guests in the anniversary grove. The music association Duisburg-West continues the park concert series on June 19th.
This year, on June 26th, the “Bläser-Symphony der Abtei Hamborn” will be part of the park concerts for the first time. The symphonic wind orchestra, founded in 2020, is characterized by a large cast of all woodwind and brass instruments, as well as percussion and double bass.
songs from the hard
work at sea
After two years of “Corona compulsory break”, the “Shanty Chor Duisburg 1983 eV” will finally be back at the park concerts on July 3rd. The choir sings about the hard work at sea, the countless ports, the distance, waves, wind and sea.
At the end of the park concert series on July 10th, the guitar choir “Old and Young Together” will be in the anniversary grove.
