Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park, Public park in Schöneberg, Berlin.
Description
Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park spreads across 5.7 hectares with pathways, grassy areas, and a variety of plants surrounding the Supreme Court building. The space provides places to walk, rest, and observe the surroundings with the imposing structure at its center.
History
The site originated in 1670 as Berlin's first botanical garden and was renamed in 1911 after German writer Heinrich von Kleist. This change honored the author's contribution to literature and gave the grounds a new identity.

Practical
The grounds are open daily and directly accessible through Kleistpark metro station, with multiple entrances from Potsdamer Street. Visitors should allow time to explore the different areas and pathways without rushing.
