History
In 2006, in Wernigerode was held a Regional Garden Show and the Bürgerpark was developed.[3] Starting in March 2006 and beyond the opening of the miniature park in May 2009, more than 60 participants in employment promotion measures of the Oskar Kämmer School in Wernigerode worked on the true-to-scale and detailed replicas. 68,000 working hours were e.g. for Wernigerode Castle.[4] The miniature park "Kleiner Harz" is operated by Park und Garten GmbH Wernigerode.
