The park was supposed to become a platform for the largest exhibition of the Third Reich "Working people" ReichSustellUng "Schaffendes Volk"). The solemn opening of the park and the exhibition took place on May 8, 1937, the exhibition itself attracted almost seven million visitors. Most of the exhibits presented in the park are sculptures and monuments depicting the ideal in the representation of the ruling party member of the Company.

After World War II, the Park has passed the possession of the British troops based in Dusseldorf, becoming a holiday location for English soldiers. Since 1953, the park was partially opened for visiting and over time was completely transferred to the city.
