Görlitzer Park
About

Görlitzer Park in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district is a vibrant urban space layered with history and cultural significance. Once the site of the Görlitzer Bahnhof railway station, the park emerged in the 1980s and 1990s through grassroots efforts to reclaim the derelict land. Today, it spans 14 hectares and features expansive lawns, sports fields, playgrounds, and a small petting zoo. Remnants of its railway past—such as freight sheds and track fragments—add character to the landscape. The park is also known for its alternative spirit, with graffiti walls and community-led initiatives like the orchard planted by local residents. Despite its reputation as a hotspot for drug activity, Görlitzer Park remains a symbol of Kreuzberg’s multicultural identity and resilience. It hosts cultural events, offers space for leisure and social interaction, and reflects Berlin’s evolving urban narrative. From its industrial roots to its role as a contested public space, Görlitzer Park continues to embody the city’s dynamic and diverse spirit.

Location

Görlitzer Park is a lively urban park situated in the heart of Berlin’s Kreuzberg district on the grounds of the former Görlitzer Bahnhof railway station, with its main entrance near Skalitzer Straße and Wiener Straße, close to Görlitzer Bahnhof U-Bahn station (U1, U3). Spanning about 14 hectares, the park is known for its sprawling lawns, small lake, sports fields, children’s playgrounds, and a petting zoo where visitors can meet donkeys, goats, and rabbits. The park’s northwest edge borders Spreewaldplatz, home to the Wellenbad am Spreewaldplatz swimming pool complex, while the north is flanked by Lausitzer Platz and the historic Emmaus Church. The iconic viaduct of the U-Bahn lines U1 and U3 runs along the park’s edge. To the south, Görlitzer Park meets the Landwehr Canal and connects by pedestrian bridge to the Alt-Treptow district, offering a direct green corridor toward Treptower Park. The Wrangelkiez neighborhood, packed with vibrant cafés, bars, and independent shops, borders the north and east, making Görlitzer Park a central hub in one of Berlin’s most eclectic quarters.
