The Schwarzer Weg complex is one of the oldest gardens in Ingolstadt, along the Münchener Straße, whose name already bears the wrong idea today. Although the term refers to the broken coal slag in the Reichspan steam locomotives, which was deposited there until the end of the 1920s and used in the construction of the new plant, but since its completion in 1929, this park is one of the most beautiful gardens in Ingolstadt. ,
The complex stretches from the former Nueberger Bridge in the north to St. Anton's Church in the south. Already existing in 1927 and today the dominant Kastanienallee forms a booming spine. This was complemented by the planting of birch and rouan trees. Near St. Anton's Church the stadium is still in its original form and is already presented then with a hornbeam hedge, but with modern playground equipment. The area is protected to rail with many shrub plantation, near each other permanent field maple.
In 1956, Anton Mayer, then the director of the park, organized an exhibition of flowers to enrich the plant, which is still found today, in a reduced form now, but still in the same flower beds, repeated annually as an attractive farm in the spring and summer. The attraction of the park is clearly a sea of flowers from July to September. Despite the reductions mentioned, there is still one of the largest alternative farms in town.
"Blumenpark Schwarzer Weg" is still one of the largest alternating agricultural areas in the urban area, despite the decline in space in recent years. Each year, about 25,000 spring and 20,000 summer flowers are grown here. For some time, model and group farms are increasingly replaced by the so-called Millefleurbeete of a permanent nature.
In the months of July to September in particular, the visitor is literally immersed in the Black Track in a sea of flowers, which consists of countless flowers from jewelry baskets, small flowering lilies, many sage species and many other summer flowers that span one year.
Due to the abandonment of the Neuburg railway and the need for compensation and replacement procedures through the construction of the new ICE line in Munich / Nuremberg, the Black Road in 2002 expanded to the West, enhancing its importance as a green zone. In the extension section, measures in the sense of species and biotope protection, such as the establishment of untreated land sites and succession areas, are transferred to increase the environmental potential of the "black track".
