Krusenkoppel, Public park in Düsternbrook district, Kiel, Germany

Krusenkoppel is a park covering about 6 hectares in Düsternbrook with rolling terrain, mature trees, and an outdoor theater at its center. The theater holds around 2,000 people and sits between Niemannsweg and Düsternbrooker Weg, anchoring the landscape.

Farmer Heinrich Wilhelm Kruse, who lived at the corner of Düsternbrooker Weg and Karolinenweg, owned the land from 1856. In 1883 he bequeathed it to the city of Kiel on condition that it remain undivided and unsold for 100 years. The city turned the farmland into an English landscape park in 1900 and opened it to the public.

During Kiel Week, this location becomes "Spiellinie", hosting one of Europe's largest outdoor cultural programs for children and families. Many people connect this place with games, movement, and shared experiences in the open air.

The park lies between Niemannsweg, Karolinenweg and Düsternbrooker Weg, south of the Düsternbrooker Gehölz, and is reached by bus at the Institut für Weltwirtschaft stop. It is listed as a protected landscape area of the city of Kiel. The open-air stage has over 2,000 seats and was last renovated in 1993.

The ring called "The 12 Apostles" at the open-air theater entrance consists of twelve summer limes: eight were planted around 1824, while the other four are recent replantings. Three other trees in Krusenkoppel, together with these limes, are listed as natural monuments in Kiel.
