Tiergarten: Großer Tiergarten

Großer Tiergarten is Berlin’s largest central park, forming a major green space with lakes, monuments and wide paths in the heart of the city. Großer Tiergarten is shaped above all by the open landscape of paths, mature vegetation and spaces used for walking, play and informal recreation. In Großer Tiergarten, the daily character emerges through seasonal change, longer sightlines and a noticeably quieter rhythm than on nearby built-up streets. Großer Tiergarten lies in the borough of Mitte, about 3.3 km west of central Berlin. The transitions from Großer Tiergarten toward Stülerstraße and Lüneburger Straße are gradual, marked by changes in building form, traffic and greenery. Around Großer Tiergarten, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. Within Tiergarten, Großer Tiergarten stands out through the everyday value of a green space that is more than a visual backdrop.
