Spreepark, Former amusement park in Plänterwald, Berlin, Germany
Spreepark is a former amusement park situated on the Spree River in Berlin, displaying remnants of its past entertainment offerings. The roughly 29.5-hectare site retains visible structures including a large Ferris wheel and dinosaur sculptures from its operational years.
The site was established in 1969 as VEB Kulturpark Plänterwald during East Germany, serving as a major entertainment destination in eastern Berlin. Following German reunification in 1989, the park gradually lost visitors and eventually ceased operations.
The park served as a social meeting place for East Berlin families seeking entertainment during the divided city era. It represented an effort to provide leisure and community experiences to the local population.
The site is not currently open to the public as it remains under reconstruction and development. Visitors interested in the location should check current information about any temporary viewing opportunities or future access plans.
The Ferris wheel and other park structures served as filming locations for the 2011 film Hanna and multiple music videos. This cinematic use gave the abandoned site an unexpected second life in popular culture.
