Geological wall at Botanical peoples park Blankenfelde-Pankow, Geological training display in Blankenfelde-Pankow, Germany.
The geological wall at Botanical peoples park Blankenfelde-Pankow displays rock specimens from different German regions arranged side by side in an organized fashion. Each sample is labeled and shows the different types of stone found beneath the surface of Central Europe.
The wall was originally built between 1891 and 1895 in Volkspark Humboldthain following designs by elementary school teacher Eduard Zache. It was later relocated to its current location in Blankenfelde-Pankow where it remains an important geological monument.
The geological wall functions as an open-air educational resource where students and visitors learn about the structure of Central European earth crust.
The site is freely accessible and each stone carries detailed information that allows visitors to explore the collection at their own pace. The best time to visit is during good weather when the rocks display their colors and textures clearly.
The wall contains about 123 different rock types, many sourced from distant regions such as Rhineland, Silesia, Saxony, and Thuringia. This variety shows visitors how different soil conditions can be just a few hundred kilometers away.
