Volkspark Friedrichshain

Strausberger Platz/Weberweise.

Established 150 years ago to commemorate the centenary of Frederick the Great’s accession to the throne, Volkspark Friedrichshain is one of Berlin’s oldest parks. Casually straddling the boroughs of Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain, it’s a sprawling place featuring lots of recreational opportunities (tennis courts, volleyball nets and climbing walls) and a wealth of impressive monuments. Highlights include the Märchenbrunnen, a neo-Baroque fountain built at the turn of the twentieth century, memorials to Frederick the Great, the German antifascist groups of World War II and a peace bell given to East Berlin by Japan. The park’s two main hills (the 78m Grosse Bunkerberg and the 48m Kleine Bunkerberg) were constructed with rubble from the war. The park also has a café and a summertime open-air cinema.
