Thielpark

Thielpark is a garden monument in Dahlem spanning approximately 10 hectares, with multiple ponds like Schilfteich and Thielparkteich connected by winding pathways and stone walls. The natural hillside landscape shapes the park's character throughout.

The park was established in 1915 when Hugo Thiel decided to preserve the hilly terrain from villa development during Berlin's urban expansion. This protected the land from construction pressure of that era.

The park serves as a gathering space where students and residents spend time by the water, watching ducks and observing reed growth.

The park is near the Thielplatz U-Bahn station on Line U3, with numerous benches positioned to face south. Multiple pathways run through it, connecting easily to Clayallee and Dahlem's center.

The park contains Thielstein, Berlin's largest boulder weighing about 50 tons, which was shifted 40 meters during construction of the Freie Universitat subway station. This impressive rock remains a silent testament to a complex engineering effort.
