In 1862 the city council purchased the famous cast-iron pavilion – exhibited at the London World Exhibition of 1851 – from Hermann Bergmann and set it up in the City Park. The park on the left bank of the River Wien was opened on 20 August 1862. In 1863 the so-called children’s park was added on the right bank of the Wien. The final layout was completed in 1872, when all the boscages, individual plantings and lawns and carpet-bedding had been finalised following completion of the “Kursalon” building and its surrounds.
