Carl-von-Ossietzky-Park

Carl-von-Ossietzky-Park is a 2-hectare green space in Moabit bounded by Alt-Moabit Street, Paulstraße, Melanchthonstraße, and Spenerstraße. The park features open lawns, trees, and pathways for walking and relaxation.

In the early 1800s, this site held military buildings including a commander's residence and gardens called Generalsgarten. After World War II, the grounds were redesigned between 1960 and 1965 into a modern public park.

The park is named after Carl von Ossietzky, a German journalist and peace advocate who spoke out against militarism during the 1930s. His name serves as a reminder of someone who fought for nonviolence and freedom of expression.

The park is easy to access with both shaded areas beneath trees and open green spaces for sitting. Marked pathways throughout help visitors navigate and explore the grounds comfortably.

The Villa Pflug, a former building designed by architect Eduard Knoblauch in 1861, was destroyed during World War II. Visitors walk through the site today with no visible traces of this earlier structure remaining.
