The amusement park Marienfelde is approximately 40 hectares large protected green area on the southern outskirts of Berlin , located in the southeast of the district Marie Felde . It was built on a former garbage dump .
history
The landfill was operated from 1950 to 1981. During this time, the Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe (BSR) deposited around four million cubic meters of household waste. The Marienfelde sewage treatment plant was located south of the landfill between the park and the fields; its function has since been taken over by the Waßmannsdorf sewage treatment plant . The greenhouse gas methane , which is largely identical to natural gas, escapes from the landfill even years after it was closed . During the redesign of the amusement park, the first part of which was officially opened on June 7, 1980, a methane discharge system was built. The methane collected was used in the neighboring Stollwerck chocolate factory to generate heat until 1995. In February 2001 there was a deflagration of methane in the park area. The park was closed immediately for security reasons. The work on the methane collection system lasted over four years. In 2004–2005, the BSR set up a gas collection system that monitors the entire park. The amusement park was only reopened on September 8, 2005. Since this incident, the gas is no longer used, but flared .
After the reopening of the park in the spring of 2006, the citizens' initiative Rettet die Marienfelder Feldflur campaigned for the site to be closed once and for all. The reason was that new biotopes were created in the years of calm , which are now being destroyed again through use. In particular, rare bird species have settled here.
On around 15 hectares of the park, a nature experience area with a nature conservation station of the NABU , which opened in 2010, was created in the following years . A 1.5 kilometer long nature trail leads past a total of nine different stations. It begins in the north on road 478 with a foil pond , an artificially created shallow body of water where toads , newts and dragonflies as well as grass snakes can be observed ( amphibian spawning waters ). The rare water hose is in bloom from May to August . The path leads in a southerly direction to the second station, which is called the landscape maintenance group. There grazing sheep to a succession of shrubs and trees in the open land to prevent. This is followed by the shadow pond with the light and shadow station named after it . Targeted vegetation at the edge of the pond creates different zones in the water, depending on the amount of sunlight and the position of the sun , in which the bulrush , duckweed and other aquatic plants and algae thrive. At the nature reserve station, the path turns east to the sand lizard slope , where the sand lizard can be seen. Shortly afterwards you reach a junction with station 6, where the alpine summit , the highest point in the park, can be reached in a south-easterly direction . If you follow station 6, which bears the title Other ways to go , you come in a north-westerly direction to a meadow with a nature gazing path . It enables you to observe butterflies , rabbits and grass snakes. In a north-easterly direction, the junction leads to the green toad pond and station 7 (habitats on still waters) . In a westerly direction, this is followed by Station 8, the city's fallow land , which is overgrown with ruderal vegetation from ruderal areas . The trail ends at the station 9, the aforementioned pond with the green toad , the moor frog , the spadefoot and the crested newt live.
location
At the foot of the mountain there are facilities of the Institute for Water, Soil and Air Hygiene . In the east there is a connection to the Marienfelde manor park along the Königgraben . A facility for skaters and cyclists borders the leisure park in the north .
The highest point in the park is 77 meters. From here there is a view of the urban landscape of Berlin and, to the south, of the Diedersdorfer Heide and Großbeerener Graben nature reserve in the Teltow-Fläming district . In the shadow of this mountain of rubbish, a remnant of agricultural land has been preserved, the Marienfelder Feldflur . At night there is a good all-round view of the night sky due to the light pollution caused by the light of the city.
The amusement park is crossed by two green main routes in Berlin, the north-south route (number 5) and the Teltower Dörferweg (number 15), which continue in a westerly direction over the Schlehenberg .
