The Herrengarten
A
particular attraction of Marienthal was a large park behind the workers’
Altgebäude boarding-house: the Herrengarten (Manor-Garden). Opened to
the workers of the Marienthal textile factory since 1866, the
public garden had avenues with seat benches, a little lake, a music
pavilion with an adjoining bowling-alley, a bathing hut at the
File-river, and eventually even a tennis court, but this was only used
by the director and his higher employees. After the shutdown of the
factory the park was dissolved in 1930.
