Description

The Englischer Garten or "English Garden" is a large urban public park that stretches from the city center to the northeastern city limits of Munich, Germany. It was founded in 1789 by Benjamin Thompson, who is also known as Count of Rumford (German: Reichsgraf von Rumford). With an area covering 3.7 km² the Englischer Garten is one of the world's largest urban public parks.

It is bigger than New York's famous Central Park but smaller than the Phoenix Park in Dublin, which is the biggest city park in Europe. The name refers to the style of gardening; the term English garden is used outside of the English speaking world to refer to the style of informal landscape gardening which was popular in the United Kingdom from the mid 18th century to the early 19th century, and is particularly associated with Capability Brown.

L' Englischer Garten è un grande parco pubblico cittadino che si estende dal centro fino al confine nord-orientale della città di Monaco di Baviera in Germania.

Venne creato nel 1789 da Benjamin Thompson, noto anche come Conte di Rumford (in tedesco Reichsgraf von Rumford). Con la sua estensione complessiva di 3,7 km² l' Englischer Garten è uno dei più grandi parchi pubblici urbani del mondo, più vasto del celebre Central Park di New York ma meno ampio del Phoenix Park di Dublino, che è il più grande d'Europa. Il suo nome si riferisce allo stile con cui venne realizzato.
