Deutsch Der Stadtpark wurde ursprünglich als Palaisgarten angelegt. Für diesen Garten legte Fürst Leopold I. 1711/12 den Grundstein. Wo heute die Kavalierstraße liegt, sollte eine Prachtstraße entstehen. Dieses vorhaben ging aber nur Mühsam voran. 1740 und 41 wurden die Palais für seine Soehne Eugen und Moritz fertig gestellt.

Mit der Bombardierung vom Maerz 1945, wurde das Bild dieses Stadtteils gravierend verändert. Die Palais in denen zuletzt u.a. die Anhaltische Landesbank untergebracht war, sind zerstört und später abgerissen worden.
