Marzahn: Bürgerpark

Bürgerpark is a landscaped green space in northern Berlin, surrounded by residential areas and used for recreation and leisure. The defining local feature of Bürgerpark is the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. How Bürgerpark is used over the course of the day depends on seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Bürgerpark lies in the borough of Marzahn-Hellersdorf, about 11 km east of central Berlin. Bürgerpark merges gradually into Wuhletalstraße and Lea-Grundig-Straße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. Around Bürgerpark, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Together, these elements make the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop central to the identity of Bürgerpark.
