Историческая справка
This small and cozy park emerged at the end of the 18th century when Prince Mikhail Golitsyn donated a part of his estate to the city. His mansion still exists at Staraya Basmannaya Street 15A, Bld 4.
By 1920, the territory of the garden included three more parks of the former estates. Before the revolution, one of these estates belonged to the richest merchant and gold trader Nikolai Stakheev (now Novaya Basmannaya Street 14, Bld 1).
There is a legend that after the revolution Stakheev secretly returned to Russia to pick up hidden jewelry from his mansion. By that time, his house was occupied by the People's Commissariat of Railways, and when Stakheev made his way into the house, he was apprehended and taken straight to Lubyanka to be questioned by Felix Dzerzhinsky himself. Stakheev offered a compromise: he gives the treasure, and for that he is released back to Paris. The conditions were accepted and honestly fulfilled. Stakheev died in Paris in 1933 at the age of 81. Moreover, he was even given a life pension. This story became known to Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov who used it as the basis for their famous book "The Twelve Chairs".
In 1922, the garden was named after the revolutionary Nikolai Bauman who had no relation to this district, except for one thing. In 1905, he was killed not far from the Imperial Moscow Technical School, now Bauman Moscow State Technical University. By the way, Bauman was a veterinarian by training.
