Park am Nordbahnhof, Urban park in Mitte, Germany.
The 5.5-hectare green space features wide meadows, birch forests, and sports areas, connecting Invalidenstraße to Schwindsuchtbrücke in central Berlin.
Built between 2004 and 2009, this area encompasses the former Stettiner Railway Station grounds and sections of the Berlin Wall's death strip.
The park preserves elements of Berlin's division, incorporating railway tracks and border wall fragments into its modern landscape design.
Located at Gartenstraße 45, the park opens daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and includes a streetball court, sunbathing areas, and walking paths.
Stone cubes made of sandstone and granite throughout the park create small habitats for local wildlife while marking historical border positions.

More than thirty years after its fall, the Berlin Wall still shapes the city. Between the districts of Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, and Friedrichshain, fragments of concrete, watchtowers, and memorial plaques recall the division of a capital and its people. Some sections remain intact, others have been turned into memorials or works of art, like the East Side Gallery. Along the old border lines, museums and parks bring these historical traces back to life: Checkpoint Charlie, Bernauer Straße, the Topography of Terror, and Mauerpark. Each site holds a particular stillness, reflecting a time that Berlin does not erase but keeps present in memory. These places invite visitors to understand, to feel, and sometimes simply to remember. At Bernauer Straße, the central memorial preserves original Wall sections alongside a documentation center. The East Side Gallery displays murals by artists from around the world along more than a kilometer of Wall. The border crossing at Bornholmer Straße was the first to open on November 9, 1989. Mauerpark, once a stretch of death strip and border zone, now fills with people gathering to celebrate and relax. Smaller traces like the former watchtower at Schlesischer Busch or the Wall fragment on Liesenstraße sit quietly among residential buildings, reminding passersby that the border once ran straight through daily life.
