Self-guided Sightseeing Tour #4 in Aachen, Germany

The Müschpark is an approximately 11-hectare park that was laid out between 1803 and 1814 on behalf of the Secretary General of the French administration, Wilhelm Körfgen, directly at the northern foot of the Lousberg in Aachen as Ferme Ornée. The park takes its name from the Müsch estate located in the same area, which is directly adjacent to today's monastery of St. Raphael in the Soers and is located in the Aachen landscape conservation area. It was privately owned until 2005 and was then taken over by the city of Aachen, which made it available to the population as a public facility. The entrances are located at the former main gate at the corner of Purweider Weg/Strüver Weg and in the area of Buchenallee on the Lousberg.

At 264 meters, the Lousberg is a prominent elevation on the northern edge of the historic center of Aachen, which was laid out as a forest and mountain park at the beginning of the 19th century according to plans by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe. The origin of the name is not entirely clear. It could come from lousen, since the mountain offers an excellent panoramic view, or it could be traced back to Louis the Pious, the son of Charlemagne. Another explanation has to do with the Aachen dialect term lous, which means "clever".

With a height of 229 meters, the Salvatorberg is the middle of Aachen's three "local mountains". The highest of these witness mountains is the Lousberg, the lowest the Wingertsberg. The Salvator Hill got its name after the Salvator Chapel built on it in the 9th century and the "Salvator Monastery" of the same name, which was later also founded there, both of which were dedicated to Jesus Christ in his capacity as Salvator Mundi.
