Heinrich-Lassen-Park, Green space in Schöneberg, Berlin.
Heinrich-Lassen-Park is a rectangular green space in Schöneberg situated between Belziger Straße and Dominicusstraße, offering walking paths, mature trees, lawns, and a children's playground. The vegetation alternates between established shade trees and open grass areas designed for sitting and recreation.
The site originated as an ice age wetland before becoming private gardens owned by the Richnow and Willmann families during the 1800s. Its transformation into a public park shaped it as a recreation space for the growing neighborhood.
A limestone sculpture of Pan from 1970 stands in the park, bringing classical mythology into the urban landscape. Visitors can find this classical figure scattered among the trees and open lawns.
The park is easy to reach on foot with multiple entry points from surrounding streets. Pathways are well-maintained and wide enough for strollers or wheelchairs, with playground areas accessible for children of various ages.
The park holds the gravestone of theologian Jacob Elias Troschel, placed there in 1958, adding a historical layer to the green space. This unusual burial in a public park tells a story about the ties between a person and place.
