history

The park was inaugurated on September 28, 1928, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Fontane's death. On the 40th anniversary of the GDR , the Berlin stonemason Gerhart Kleinert , who was also chairman of the Teupitz fishing club, set up a boulder with the inscription Fontane-Park in the south-eastern area of ​​the park . On the back it bears the inscription VMI DAV OG Teupitz I 1989 ( national economic mass initiative of the local group I of the German Angler Association). Previously, the members of the club had prepared the place in the past two years. In 2003 the city redesigned the green space for 165,000 euros. Children's play equipment was set up and parking areas were set up. On the occasion of a medieval festival in the same year, the mayor put a plaque on the front with the following inscription: “In memory of the storming of Teupitz by the old Pankgrafenschaft in 1928/2003”. This refers to a knight ride of the Pankgraves to Teupitz in 1928, in which the then Teupitz rifle king and Berlin restaurateur Carl Keller took part.
