English Garden (Englischer Garten)

The English Garden

It was Count Benjamin Thompson Rumford, an American-English scientist and administrator, entered the service of the elector of Bavaria as an administration officer and is said to be responsible for establishing the English Garden in 1789.

The English Garden (Englischer Garten) is approx. stretches approx. 5 km in North-South direction and is ca. 2 km wide. Munich's largest citypark is a real oasis of relaxation with a lake (Kleinhesselhoher See), a little creek (Eisbach), and beer gardens. Along the Eisbach nude sunbathing is very normal.

The largest beer garden and may be the most vibrant of Munich is the 'Chinesischer Turm' (Chinese Tower) in the heart of the park, a couple of minutes away from Munich's vibrant neighborhood 'Schwabing'. The Chinesischer Turm has approx. a seating capacity for 7.000 people. It fills early during the summer time! There's is actually a Chinese Tower present and it was built in 1790.
