Schulenburgpark, Cultural heritage park in Neukölln, Berlin, Germany.
Schulenburgpark is a 5-hectare park in Neukölln with a central rectangular water basin bordered by plane trees and decorated with a fairy tale fountain. The pathways move through the grounds in a thoughtful layout that balances resting areas with open spaces for walking.
The park was established in 1913 on marshy land unsuitable for construction, transforming an unusable area into a valuable green space for the neighborhood. This early development helped shape how Berlin's districts adapted open land for public use.
The park is named after Rudolf Wilhelm Graf von der Schulenburg and was designed as a structured green space that combines water features with architectural elements. Visitors can experience the formal layout with its symmetrical design and water basins when walking through it today.
The park is easily accessible with well-maintained pathways suitable for different levels of mobility. Trees provide shade throughout, and seating areas are available at several spots for resting.
The park received recognition in 2008 after a comprehensive renovation for its excellence in design and this honor is marked by a commemorative plaque. This acknowledgment shows how public green spaces become valuable through careful planning and upkeep.
