Kurt Hiller Park
The Kurt Hiller Park is located in the Berlin district of Schoeneberg at the Grunewaldstraße near the subway station Kleistpark . The park is named after the German writer and pacifist publicist Kurt Hiller (1885–1972).
history
The park was named after Hiller at the end of 2000 on the initiative of the Berlin-Brandenburg Lesbian and Gay Association. The proposal was supported by the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the SPD local group Schöneberg, the lesbians and gays in the SPD and the gay young socialists, among others.
Design
In the park there is a small green area on which two boulodromes have been laid out. The space-defining stone sculpture was designed and manufactured by the Berlin sculptor Ajit Kai Dräger. In addition to a basketball and handball court, stone sculptures were set up to honor Hiller as the “co-founder of the homosexual civil rights movement”. Critics complain that there is no inscription giving the visitor further clues about the park.
