Philharmonischer Garten Tiergartenstraße, Ben-Gurion-Str. 1, Herbert-von-Karajan-Str. 1, cultural heritage site in Berlin

Philharmonischer Garten Tiergartenstraße is a small park in Berlin-Mitte next to the Philharmonie, featuring trees, pathways, and green areas for relaxation. Created in the 1960s by landscape architect Hermann Mattern, it was designed as part of the larger Kulturforum complex to blend nature with cultural spaces.

The garden was created in the 1960s as the Philharmonie was built, designed by landscape architect Hermann Mattern. In the 1980s, Günter Nagel made adjustments to the layout while preserving the original vision, creating a space that blends music, nature, and Berlin's cultural history.

The garden once served as the main entrance to the music museum and welcomed concert visitors before performances. Today, people use this space to pause and reflect while surrounded by the cultural institutions of the Kulturforum.

The garden is easily accessible from Tiergartenstraße and Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße and is free to visit. It works well as a quiet stop before or after visiting the nearby concert halls or museums in the Kulturforum.

A sculpture of Orpheus created by Gerhard Marcks in 1959 stands in the garden, linking music and visual art. This artwork often goes unnoticed, but it highlights the deep connection between the space and Berlin's musical heritage.
