DE: Der "Adenauerweiher" wurde von den Gartenarchitekten Günther Schulze und Joachim Winkler zur Bundesgartenschau 1957 in für die fünfziger Jahre typischer Nierenform gestaltet und erinnerte an einen Altwasserarm des Rheins. Zur Eröffnung der Gartenschau gab es zudem sieben Wasserstrahlen aus verschiedenen Richtungen, die auf den Teich gerichtet waren.

Zur Gartenschau 1971 wurde der Teich umgestaltet und erhielt neben neuer Folie auch eine Befestigung, die den natürlichen Charakter entfernte. Neue und Gebrauchte Mühlsteine und Kronenbrunnen aus Basaltlava wurden als Brunnenobjekte von Kurt Schönbohm, dem Leiter der Schau, eingebaut.

2007 wurden zum fünfzigsten Jubiläum der Bundesgartenschau Metallrahmen aufgestellt, die einen vergleichenden Blick zwischen heute und dem Zeitpunkt der Gartenschauen 1957 und 1971 ermöglichen.

EN: The "Adenauerweiher" was designed by the garden architects Günther Schulze and Joachim Winkler for the 1957 Federal Garden Show in a kidney shape typical of the 1950s and was reminiscent of an oxbow arm of the Rhine. At the opening of the garden show, there were also seven water jets from different directions that were aimed at the pond.

For the 1971 garden show, the pond was redesigned and, in addition to new sheeting, also received a fastening that removed the natural character. New and used millstones and crown fountains made of basalt lava were installed as fountain objects by Kurt Schönbohm, the director of the show.

In 2007, for the fiftieth anniversary of the Federal Horticultural Show, metal frames were set up, which enable a comparative view between today and the time of the garden shows in 1957 and 1971.
