Böckler Park

Böckler Park, Public park in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.

Böckler Park lies in Kreuzberg between Böcklerstraße and Prinzenstraße, on the Urbanhafen of the Landwehrkanal. It is a lawn park laid out by Heinrich Wiepking-Jürgensmann on the site of the Hellweg gasworks, which closed in 1922. The grounds hold several children's playgrounds and, since 1978, the Böcklerpark residential complex with the Statthaus Böcklerpark.

The park occupies the site of the Hellweg gasworks, built in the late 1840s and shut down in 1922. After the gas utility gave up the grounds of the II. Städtische Gaserleuchtungsanstalt, Heinrich Wiepking-Jürgensmann laid out a meadow park. Under the Nazi dictatorship it was renamed Harry-Anderssen-Park in 1936, became Urbanpark in 1945, and has borne the name of DGB chairman Hans Böckler since 1951.

The Statthaus Böcklerpark serves as a community hub where locals gather for workshops, events, and meetings throughout the year. It reflects how this space has become a social meeting point for residents seeking connection and shared activities.

The park lies between Böcklerstraße and Prinzenstraße on the Urbanhafen of the Landwehrkanal. Several playgrounds are inside, and the Statthaus Böcklerpark hosts leisure programmes for children, teenagers and adults. The bronze bust of Hans Böckler was stolen in March 2011.

A bronze bust of Hans Böckler, the first chairman of the DGB trade union federation, stood in the park until it was stolen by suspected metal thieves on the night of 1–2 March 2011. The park has carried his name since 1951; before that it was called Harry-Anderssen-Park from 1936 and Urbanpark from 1945.
