Franckepark, Public park in Tempelhof, Germany

Franckepark is a green space in Tempelhof-Schöneberg that spreads between several streets and connects with neighboring parks. The grounds offer various areas with lawns, paths, and gardens that invite walking and spending time outdoors.

Theodor Francke (1830–1896) used the site as a storage area for his ivory bleaching business. In 1875 Jonathan Kaehler turned it into a private park for the Francke family, adding a sledding hill. Francke's heirs donated the park to Berlin in 1924, and Rudolf Fischer redesigned it between 1925 and 1928 with a rose garden and a fallow deer enclosure. Largely destroyed in World War II, it was rebuilt in 1954–1955.

Theodor Francke, a merchant who owned an ivory bleaching works nearby, gave the site its name; the park was laid out for his family in 1875 by Jonathan Kaehler. His heirs donated it to the Berlin municipality in 1924. The rose garden at the entrance from the "Am Franckepark" housing estate was restored to its historic design in 2026, and its fountain flows again.

Barrier-free access is possible via the entrances at Tempelhofer Rathaus (through the 'Feldblume' allotment colony), Götzstraße (via the Schwarzen Weg) and Albrechtstraße. The park has three different running routes with small gradients, which makes it popular with runners. The rose garden at the entrance from the 'Am Franckepark' housing estate was restored in 2026 to its historical model, and its fountain flows again.

The bronze owl that once stood at the Theodor-Francke-Straße entrance was a 1964 stopgap by Egon Stolterfoht; it disappeared on 13 April 2013, probably stolen for scrap, and a roughly 40 cm wooden copy now sits on its pedestal. Before it, a bronze goat as a fountain figure stood here in 1930 and was melted down in 1942.
