Multi-generation park Steinbuschanlage
The Steinbuschanlage, also casually referred to as "the park" by many Wissen citizens, is now a modern park with numerous play and sports facilities for young and old. Long ago, the park was once the town's cemetery. The name commemorates the pastor Anton Joseph Steinbusch (1829-1883), who did a lot of good for the town of Wissen and its inhabitants. His grave of honour is still located in the middle of the park. The Steinbusch Park has always been a place of recreation, meeting and lingering, but also a place of remembrance. For example, there is a war memorial for the years 1870-1871 (Franco-Prussian War) and the years 1914-1918 (First World War). The monuments commemorate the dead of the wars, including the fallen soldiers from the homeland. The steel sculpture "Unheilvolle Kriege und beginnende Freundschaft" by the artist Arnold Morkramer is also worthy of note. Today's use as a multi-generational park does not detract from the dignity of the site. History and the future have been well combined in the planning, and visitors' interest in the history of the Steinbusch site has been aroused. After the redesign with a high degree of citizen participation, the park now houses various play and sports facilities, an e-bike charging station and a toilet.
