Gutspark Marienfelde, Cultural heritage park in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany.
Gutspark Marienfelde is a 5.3-hectare park in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg district, stretching long from east to west. It adjoins the Marienfelder Dorfanger and the buildings of the former manor. Near the manor house lies an ornamental garden with a fountain, flower beds and sculptures. The park is bounded by Nahmitzer Damm to the south and Buckower Chaussee to the north.
Gutspark Marienfelde was laid out around 1850 by estate owner Adolf Kiepert as the park of his manor. The estate passed to the city of Berlin in 1929, and from 1936 the park was opened to the public as a green space. It adjoins the Marienfelde village green and the buildings of the former manor.
The park's name refers to the former manor estate (Gut) whose buildings stand next to the Marienfelde village green. Near the manor house lies an ornamental garden with a fountain, flower beds and sculptures, the feature visitors most often stop at. The grounds have been open to the public as a green space since 1936.
The park stretches east-west between Nahmitzer Damm to the south and Buckower Chaussee to the north. At its eastern end it connects to Freizeitpark Marienfelde, past the artificial Freseteich and along the Königsgraben. A path follows the route of the never-built Güteraußenring railway. Berlin Waterworks facilities stand in the northeast.
The Roetepfuhl, a glacial pond, lies not in the park itself but along the path from the park's eastern end toward Freizeitpark Marienfelde, past the artificial Freseteich. The Königsgraben drains Marienfelde toward the Bäke and Teltowkanal; an open ditch survives only between the city boundary and the Freseteich, with the rest piped underground.
