Deep beneath the soil of Ewaldipark, secrets slumber. Let’s uncover them together, right here in Dortmund’s Aplerbeck district. Ewaldipark isn’t just a green space. It’s a blend of history, a fusion of two properties: the former “Gutes Pellinghof” estate and a portion of the Renkhoff family’s apothecary garden. Imagine the police station that once occupied the estate buildings until 1980, replaced by the Sparkasse building. Ewaldipark emerged when the Rodenbergstraße, Aplerbeck’s bypass, was built. The park’s name echoes a darker tale. It honors two missionary brothers, the White Ewald and the Black Ewald, believed to have been martyred in Aplerbeck in the 7th century. As a poignant tribute, thousands of white and lilac crocuses bloom each autumn, blanketing the park in a sea of remembrance. During the park’s creation, a hidden gem was unearthed: an ancient, forgotten spring, now brought back to life, bubbling forth as a testament to the park’s rich past. Ewaldipark, a tranquil oasis, a whispered history.
