Elise Tilse Park
The Elise-Tilse-Park is a green area on the site of the former Anhalter Bahnhof in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district . It was named on April 24, 2012 after the former Kreuzberg Art Office director Elise Tilse (1910–2005).
Emergence
The park in its current appearance was created in 2006 and 2007 from a fallow land under the project management of Deutsche Bahn to compensate for the use of natural areas between the Westkreuz and Charlottenburg stations during the construction of the high-speed line Hanover-Berlin . Initially, the facility was referred to as a park on the Anhalter Bahnhof .
construction
The approximately 3.6 hectare area consists of a plateau and a low plain.
Plateau
In the center of the area, accessible via five stairs, a bicycle ramp and an access road, at a height of more than four meters, the seven platforms and tracks of the former train station are still recognizable and accessible amidst the overgrowth and gravel . A boardwalk has been installed across them. The structure is surrounded by a circular path with benches and other paths.
In the north, the park ends at the rear of the Tempodrom . Only a narrow arm west of the building extends to the Anhalter Bahnhof S-Bahn station .
The southern end of the hill offers a panoramic view of the lowlands, the Hallesche Ufer on the Landwehr Canal , the Tempelhofer Ufer on the other side, the elevated railway of the U1 line , the new facade of the German Museum of Technology with the " Raisin Bomber " and the Postbank high-rise , the Tempelhof-Kreuzberg district court , Möckernbrücke and Möckernstrasse in the east of the park.
The Anhalter Steg leads to the site of the technology museum .
Lowlands
The two quarter circles at the southern end of the park are connected to the plateau via funnel-shaped grass slopes and three stairs. In the larger of the two partly paved , partly lawn and flower beds areas, there are further benches. A low wall and a high decorative fence with a total of five exits separate it from the street.
