At the end of the 16th century, the "Tummelgarten", which served as a paddock for horses during the brief reign of Margrave Jakob III, was located on this site outside the town wall.
In 1908, the park behind St Boniface's Catholic Church was redesigned, giving it its current shape.
At the end of Markgraf-Jakob-Allee is the memorial to the fallen of the First World War, designed by the sculptor Emil Stadelhofer and erected in 1921, with the figure of a "Mourning Germania".
The Stadtgarten merges into the Bergfriedhof cemetery, which was opened in 1884.
