Kleiner Tiergarten, Public park in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
Kleiner Tiergarten is a 7-hectare green space in Berlin-Mitte featuring tree-lined paths, water features, flower beds, and open meadows. The grounds are marked by several memorials and the historic Heilandskirche church.
The park originated in 1655 as a hunting ground and underwent reshaping in 1790 with new tree plantings. Further development came in 1835 with the construction of St. John's Church.
The Heilandskirche church, constructed between 1892 and 1894, shapes the park's character with its striking presence along Thusnelda-Allee. It functions as a spiritual and community landmark that draws visitors interested in local religious architecture.
The park sits between Turmstraße and Alt-Moabit with free access available year-round for visitors. The Turmstraße station on the U9 subway line connects directly to the grounds.
The grounds gained international prominence in 2019 due to a significant historical event that continues to shape how many visitors understand its place in the city. This incident remains a point of reference for understanding the park's contemporary identity.
