The Rose Garden-Rozanka
Rozanka (by 1945 Rosengarten) is the rose garden founded in 1928 to commemorate the World Gardening Exhibition. Until 1970s it was among the best known recreation areas in Szczecin. Back then, due to the lack of funds, the garden was neglected. It was totally devastated after the municipality gave it to the Roman Catholic Church in 1983.
In 2005, the City of Szczecin managed to regain the garden from the Church. Between 2006 and 2007, the garden was recreated according to the project designed by Malgorzata Haas-Nogal. As a result, Rozanka was restored to its 1930s' shape. In the garden, you can see the Modernistic fountain, "The Bird Well", made in 1934. Rebuilding of the Bird Well was the part of the recreation process. Out of four concrete-carved wild geese, three are the original work of Schwerdtfeger; the fourth one had to be re-sculpted. Please note that riding bikes in the Rose Garden is forbidden. Today, there are 97 varieties of roses in Rozanka. [Szczecin]
