Facts and practical information

Wilhelminapark is a park in the Zandberg district of the Dutch city of Breda.

The park is located along the Wilhelminasingel, not far from Breda Center, and consists of two pieces with a pond on each side. The park is separated by the street Wilhelminapark. Nearby is one of Breda's two water towers and the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum.

At the entrance of the left section is a Polish war memorial, made by Bon Ingen-Housz and unveiled on October 29, 1949, 5 years after the liberation of the city. On the other side is a German Panther tank donated to the city by General Stanisław Maczek one year after the liberation of Breda on October 29, 1945. The tank had been captured on Krupp's test site in Meppen by his 1st Polish Armored Division. In 2003/2004 it was restored and made more weatherproof. Since 2011 there is also a monument to the deported 118 Breda Jews during the war.
