Stadtpark Steglitz, Urban park in Steglitz, Germany
Stadtpark Steglitz is a 17 hectare green space with multiple ponds, broad lawns, mature trees, hornbeam hedges, and a central fountain dating to 1957. The layout provides a varied landscape with different water features and green areas designed for various activities.
Garden director Fritz Zahn and inspector Rudolf Korte transformed marshy lowlands into a recreational landscape park between 1906 and 1914. This transformation laid the foundation for the green space that exists in Steglitz today.
The music pavilion on the main axis replaced a concert shell in 1990; the shell itself had been built in 1957 alongside the fountain. The pavilion is used for concerts in summer. Nearby, a memorial stone on the Goebenwiese marks where Karl Fischer founded the Wandervogel movement.
The park is split by Sedanstraße into an eastern main section and a smaller western lawn and playground area. The main axis with the fountain links Bismarckstraße in the north to Brückenstraße in the south; at Brückenstraße the Wever-Promenade continues toward the Teltowkanal. Three playgrounds, a mini-golf course and a sledding slope lie in the eastern part.
The Goebenteich, a 2,000 m² groundwater-fed pond in the western section, is not the largest water body: the four ponds of the eastern section, laid out between 1906 and 1914, range from 600 to 4,000 m². A memorial stone at the edge of the Goebenwiese marks where Karl Fischer founded the Wandervogel movement.
