New for 2012

Birthday boys and girls will have their very own parade

For many years now, taking part in the HANSA-PARK parade has been a special highlight for all birthday boys and girls. Unfortunately this was, at times, not possible as the parade had to be cancelled due to heavy rain. Also, the parade was open only to the birthday boy or girl; friends or parents could not come along.

From the beginning of the 2012 season onwards, this will change because from then on, all birthday children can enjoy their very own parade on a train on wheels that runs in any weather. And best of all: the train can carry up to 24 children, so each birthday child can take along his or her friends and share the fun with them.

And it doesn’t end here: the new train does not run just once a day, but it is available over the whole day. Every birthday group can book it exclusively for one ride through the park, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and of course it’s free of charge. It is HANSA-PARK’s birthday present in addition to the free admission all birthday children up to 14 years already enjoy.

5th phase of the theme world “The HANSEATIC LEAGUE in EUROPE”

For 2012, HANSA-PARK plans to complete at least a 5th especially labour-intensive construction phase of our theme world “The HANSEATIC LEAGUE in EUROPE”. Detailed planning includes London, Ribe (Denmark’s oldest town) and Bergen or La Rochelle, Barcelona or Lisbon.

Originally, the Hanseatic League was most active in the Baltic Sea area however the trade relations of the alliance of cities went well beyond that. The Steelyard in London, established in the early 13th century already, was one of the most important trading posts of the Hanseatic League because the rise of the British Empire - the largest empire the world had ever known - was based to a great extent on England’s maritime power. New continents were discovered, new nations were founded and along with that, new trading opportunities developed all of which pushed the Hanseatic alliance of cities more and more into the background.

Georg Forster, a German, accompanied James Cook on his second voyage around the world, sailing the South Pacific to the Easter Islands and Polynesia. Georg Forster’s explorations in the jungle of the South Seas significantly contributed to the development of geography and ethnology as separate sciences.

This is where the new Children’s Jungle Park - a play land that will be open to our young visitors from 2012 - starts off. The park is a great place for children to climb, romp around and play to their hearts’ content even in less than agreeable weather.
