Arnswalder Platz, Public square in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.
Arnswalder Platz is a rectangular open space in Pankow with green areas, play zones, and a distinctive central fountain. The grounds offer various activities for play and leisure, from climbing equipment to table tennis tables.
The square was originally designated as Area A in the 1862 Hobrecht Plan and received its current name in 1902 after a Pomeranian town. This renaming reflected the importance attached to connections with eastern German regions during that period.
The central fountain displays figures representing agricultural work and creates a meeting place where neighbors gather and interact. The sculptural works reflect the connection between city and rural life that mattered to this district.
The square is freely accessible during daylight hours and offers different play and relaxation areas for various age groups. Visitors should note that conditions are best during dry weather, especially for the activity areas.
Between 1974 and 1995, the square officially had no name because no residential population lived in the immediate area. This unusual period ended only when new residents moved into the neighborhood and formal designation became necessary.
