Park am Nordbahnhof, Urban park in Mitte, Germany.
Park am Nordbahnhof is an urban green space in Mitte featuring open meadows, birch groves, and sports facilities spread across approximately 5.5 hectares. It connects Invalidenstraße to Schwindsuchtbrücke in central Berlin.
The site was developed between 2004 and 2009 on the grounds of the former Stettiner Railway Station and includes sections of the Berlin Wall's death strip. This past continues to shape how the land is designed today.
The space carries memories of Berlin's division, with railway remnants and wall fragments woven into the modern landscape. These relics serve as visible reminders of the city's complex past.
The park opens daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and is located at Gartenstraße 45 with good access to the city center. Visitors will find a streetball court, sunbathing areas, and walking paths throughout.
Stone cubes of sandstone and granite are scattered throughout the grounds and provide habitats for small wildlife. These blocks simultaneously mark historical border positions, blending ecological care with memory of the past.

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.
