Friedrichsberger Park

Partial view of the former hospital park

The Friedrich Berger Park is a 10 hectare large public park in the Hamburg districts Barmbek-South and Eilbek . The park is essentially north of the Eilbek River , between Friedrichsberger Strasse in the west and the Friedrichsberg S-Bahn station in the east. It is part of a green belt that also includes the Eichtalpark and the Mühlenteichpark in Wandsbek , the Eilbektal and the Kuhmühlenteich between Hohenfelde and the Uhlenhorst .

The park goes back to the former Friedrichsberg State Hospital, which was founded in 1864 to care for the mentally ill. According to the reform ideas of the time, the patients were no longer “locked away”, but treated largely without coercion . Between 1912 and 1914, Fritz Schumacher expanded the institution in the then modern pavilion style, with the individual buildings embedded in a park-like ensemble. After the Second World War, the site was converted into a general hospital ( AK Eilbek ), privatized in 2004 and sold to the Schön Clinic Group . In the course of privatization, the originally 25 hectare clinic area was re-planned and redesigned:

While the clinic was concentrated in a new building complex in the north (with a new driveway on Dehnhaide Street ), four to eight-storey residential buildings were built in the west along Friedrichsberger Strasse and in the extreme southeast. Development is also planned in the eastern area (Grete-Zabe-Weg). The southern part of the park with its trees, some of which are over 100 years old, was largely preserved and opened up to the surrounding area, in particular to the neighboring green corridor in the Eilbektal, which was included in the new park.

In the course of the redesign, the existing children's playground in the Eilbektal was renewed and additional leisure options (barbecue areas, exercise island) were added.
