Description:

The Alsterpark is located in the heart of the city, on the western shore of the outer Alster lake. It is equally popular among locals and visitors. Its huge lawns are inviting for those who like to watch the world go by while lying in the sun. People come here to walk, skate, cycle and jog; you also see them walking their dogs and pushing prams. There are also cafes and little kiosks that offer food and drinks, but if you prefer to barbeque, there are several marked areas where you are free to do so.

Land Saving Scheme

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/05

Alster park is Germany's potential solution to overcrowding. By night Alster park is Hamburgs biggest graveyard but at 5am every morning all of the tombstones are removed so people can sunbathe and play football and tennis and have picnics and take their dogs a walk. Then when the sun goes down they put all the tombstones back (they can't always guarantee that they will be put at the right grave) and they bury some new people. Yesterday afternoon I had lunch on Haerman Grueller RIP.
