Waldeckpark, Public park in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.

Waldeckpark spans 20,000 square meters, bordered by Alexandrinenstraße, Alte Jakobstraße, and Oranienstraße, adjacent to the Bundesdruckerei complex in Berlin.

The land originated as a plague cemetery for the Petri community in 1604, transforming into a public green space by 1870 for residents of Cölln.

The park received its name in 1929 to honor liberal politician Benedikt Waldeck, marked by a memorial that was removed during Nazi rule and later reinstated.

The park includes a sports field with artificial turf, floodlights, and seating for 500 spectators, primarily used by Berlin Hilalspor football club.

Only one historical gravestone remains in the former cemetery: that of Prussian stable master Ernst Ferdinand Ayrer, surviving multiple renovations.
