Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park

Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park is a green space of around two hectares in Kreuzberg with a central lawn, rose garden, and children's playground. Tree-lined pathways and shrubs create a structured layout that organizes the different areas throughout the grounds.

The park was built between 1960 and 1967 on the site of a former harbor area by a team of architects. This transformation of an industrial site into public green space was part of post-war urban development in the city.

The park honors composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, one of the most important musicians of the 19th century. His name connects the space to European musical heritage and reminds visitors of the cultural weight this figure carried.

You can enter the park from Schöneberger Straße, Hallesches Ufer, or Köthener Straße, with a subway station right beside it. The multiple entrances make it easy to arrive by different routes or plan your visit.

A natural boulder stands as a monument within the rose garden and many visitors overlook it during a casual walk. This stone connects the area's geological story to its current role as a green retreat.
