Spreepark, Former amusement park in Plänterwald, Berlin, Germany
The 29.5-hectare entertainment complex sits along the Spree River, featuring remnants of attractions, including a large Ferris wheel and dinosaur statues.
Established in 1969 as VEB Kulturpark Plänterwald during East German times, the park attracted 1.7 million visitors annually before German reunification.
The park gained recognition through its appearance in the 2011 film Hanna and served as a filming location for German music videos.
The site remains under reconstruction by Grün Berlin GmbH, with plans to transform the space into a cultural and recreational destination.
The park's operator Norbert Witte attempted to smuggle cocaine from Peru to Germany by hiding it inside ride equipment.

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
