Spreebogenpark

Spreebogenpark is a six-hectare urban green space that curves along the northern bend of the Spree River, with open lawns and clusters of beech and oak trees throughout. Paved pathways cross the park and connect to surrounding government buildings and bridges.

The site was formerly the Alsenviertel, an embassy district that was cleared during the Nazi era and remained empty for decades. Its conversion into a park in 2005 marked the area's return to public life as Berlin's government functions relocated to this riverside location.

The park references its embassy past through wildflower meadows and seasonal plantings near the Swiss Embassy building. These design elements keep the memory of the former gardens alive for visitors walking through the space.

The park is easily reached via the Gustav-Heinemann Bridge from Berlin Central Station, and multiple pathways make it simple to navigate the entire area. The terrain is generally flat with well-maintained walkways throughout.

A central hill with steel-edged landscape cuts provides views of the Reichstag, Federal Chancellery, and Paul-Löbe-Haus. This elevated spot reveals how closely the park sits next to Berlin's main government buildings.
