The Waldpark Wilhelmshain is a park in Hanerau-Hademarschen in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. At the eastern entrance to Hanerau-Hademarschen there is the manor house from 1835 at the Mühlenteich. Through the park belonging to the Gut Liewierwege lead to old cascades, clearings or grottos as well as a bronze sculpture by the poet Theodor Storm, who liked to go for a walk in the park.
The forest cemetery, located in the park, is unique in northern Germany, which was created in 1805 by the then landlord Johann-Wilhelm Mannhardt according to the order of the Herrnhut brothers. The Herrnhut Gottesacker in Herrnhut, which was created in 1730, served as a model, on which the brothers’ vegetable first served their ideas about equality before death and calm before the resurrection in the form of one Gottesackers implemented.
The Gottesacker in Hanerau is divided into six fields. The broad middle ground separates the sexes. There are married people in the upper third, whose grave points are arranged in a reflective manner. The two middle fields were initially only intended for youngsters and virgins, the lower ones for children. All of the slaves were buried with their heads to the east. [2]

The life -size bronze sculpture of the writer Theodor Storm was inaugurated on May 19, 1993 and was the third monument when it was built. It was created by the sculptor Werner Löwe from Thuringia. Previously, the Storm bust created by Adolf Brütt in the Husum Schlosspark and the sculpture in the Heilbad Heiligenstadt in 1988 had existed.
According to tradition, Storm liked to stay in Hademarschen during his time at the current location of the sculpture at the forest cemetery. Storm’s daughter Gertrud described in her memories: ” It was one of my father’s secret friends to lead his guests to a small Mennonite cemetery (which is meant in the park of Hanerau, the forest cemetery described above). The graceful village of Hanerau, located in the shade of old chestnuts, also went over meadows and cozy forest paths through a lively gate to this peaceful piece of earth. When our guest suddenly saw himself in conversation, very deeply in conversation, suddenly saw himself in a quiet, green cemetery, my father had once again succeeded. ” [3]
Between 1812 and 1816 west of the access to the park in the style of English landscape gardens was created and after the commissioning estate Lord Mannhardt was also Wilhelmshain called. With leaves and conifers as well as terrace-shaped fishing ponds, the park combined the forestry and fisheries use on ten hectares with an aesthetic and social claim. The forest park is the first Volksgarten Schleswig-Holstein.
Wilhelm Mannhardt (1800–1890) founded on March 4, 1846 [4] southeast of the park near Gokel the so -called Landesbaumschule The goal of which was the reforestation of the extensive heath and wasteland areas of Schleswig-Holstein. The tree nursery became a pioneer and sponsor of the “Heidkulturverein für Schleswig-Holstein”, launched in 1872. There is a memorial stone for the founder of the state tree nursery in the forest, which has grown to around 50 hectares. [5]
