Staudengarten
The Staudengarten is a perennial garden on the Königsufer, created in 1934/1935 as a special garden under the city garden director Heinrich Balke and, like the neighbouring Rosengarten, part of the Reichsgartenschau of 1936.

The city says that the Staudengarten and the neighbouring Rosengarten are protected parks on the Königsufer.
The bronze sculpture Stehender Knabe (Standing Boy) by Christine Heitmann has stood in the park since the 1990s. The sundial was put up in 1940.
The Bogenschütze stands beside the garden, and the Sächsische Staatskanzlei rises behind it.

The Staudengarten was created in 1934/1935 as a special garden, mainly planned by the then city garden director Heinrich Balke. Like the neighbouring Rosengarten, it was part of the Reichsgartenschau of 1936.
The water basin was filled in in 1957 and a square lawn laid out in its place. In 2009 the city’s Amt für Stadtgrün und Abfallwirtschaft reconstructed the park.
