Winegrower's Garden

The Winzersche Garten is a park in Bielefeld, Germany, which is named after the former Villa Winzer. It lies below the Johannisberg and thus forms the western terminus of the Bielefeld Pass, which is important for the East Westphalian part of the Teutoburg Forest.

In 1869, the textile entrepreneur Carl W. Winzer had his villa built on a plot of land below the Johannisberg with a view of Bielefeld's city centre. In the following years, Winzer successively expanded the garden of his home and, in addition to the green areas, also had a stone archway and a tuff stone grotto built. After Winzer's death in 1898 and the departure of his widow Helene, née Stallforth, the Dürkopp and Oetker families acquired the site in 1921. During the air raid on 30 September 1944 during the Second World War, Villa Winzer was destroyed.
