Max-Josef-Metzger-Platz, Public square and park in Wedding, Berlin, Germany
Max-Josef-Metzger-Platz features wide green spaces with sports facilities, including a 400-meter running track and fitness equipment spread across the triangular layout.
The square originated in 1862 from James Hobrecht's city plans and received its current name in 1994 to commemorate a Catholic priest executed by Nazis in 1944.
The Trümmerstele monument, constructed in 1954 with 40,000 mosaic stones, stands twelve meters high and commemorates the women who cleared Berlin's post-war debris.
The recently renovated space offers multiple recreational options with exercise stations, table tennis facilities, climbing areas, trampolines, and a dedicated pétanque court.
Four ground-mounted steel plates narrate the life story of Max Josef Metzger, including his work promoting Esperanto through the Catholic publication Katolika Mondo.
