Schillerpark, Public park in Wedding, Berlin
Schillerpark is a public park in Berlin's Mitte district spanning two hill ranges separated by Barfussstraße. The grounds feature native trees including oaks, elms, poplars, and lindens, along with playgrounds, pedestrian paths, and designated nature reserve areas.
Landscape architect Friedrich Bauer designed this park in 1909 with construction completed in 1913, establishing one of Germany's first modern public parks. The project responded to the city's growing needs and set new standards for park design.
The park is named after writer Friedrich Schiller, and the Bastion features a reproduction of Schiller's monument by sculptor Reinhold Begas as a focal point for visitors. The terraced layout creates distinct zones where people naturally gather and spend time.
The park is easily accessible on foot with well-maintained paths connecting both hill ranges for visitors to explore. Visit on dry days when walkways are most comfortable and open spaces are fully usable.
The student meadow served as a gathering location for political meetings during earlier periods and remains embedded within the terraced structure. Visitors can still identify this area as a focal gathering spot for different groups today.
