Landschaftspark Johannisthal/Adlershof, Protected landscape area in Treptow-Köpenick, Germany.
Landschaftspark Johannisthal/Adlershof is a protected landscape area in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick district featuring open meadows and forested sections across its grounds. An elevated walkway bordered by stone-filled wire cages guides visitors around a core nature reserve zone that receives special protection.
The site was Germany's first motorized airfield, opened on the Johannisthal field in 1909. Flight operations continued until the airfield was closed; in 1996 a gradual renaturation of the 65-hectare area began. The park is integrated into the development of the neighbouring Adlershof district as a location for technology, media and science.
The space serves visitors who come to exercise, relax, or watch wildlife in the midst of urban surroundings. Its location near Berlin's tech district means many people use it as an escape from nearby workplaces and offices.
The site is easily reached via public transportation and features a network of marked paths that guide visitors safely through the grounds. The elevated walkways help protect sensitive areas while offering views across the landscape.
The dry grassland of the former airfield has been recorded with 245 wild plant species, among them the Carthusian pink, meadow sage and the round-headed rampion. Roughly 170 bee and wasp species, about 100 ground beetles and some 170 spider species also live in the reserve.
