Ludwig Lesser Park
The Ludwig Lesser Park is located in the Berlin district of Frohnau of the district Reinickendorf between the Schönfließer road in the north, the Gollanczstraße in the West, the Senheimer road to the east and the Markgrafenstraße in the south. It is named after the Berlin landscape architect Ludwig Lesser .
history
The park was laid out by Lesser around 1908 and was originally only called a recreation park . In 1935 it was renamed Ernst-Schwartz-Park after the painter who lived in Frohnau . Schwartz was SA reserve leader and was fatally injured in a fight with communists . After the end of World War II , the Red Army renamed the site the Red Army Park . In memory of around 30 soldiers who died in Frohnau, they erected a memorial, which was inaugurated on June 22, 1945. In 1951 the memorial was torn down after all the fallen soldiers had been transferred to the Soviet military cemetery in Schönholz . Seven years later the park was named after Lesser.

Lesser's parks are characterized by a high degree of naturalness. That is why you can only find the Ludwig-Lesser-Teich in the park , which absorbs rainwater that runs off. Such systems can be found in the loamy soil of Frohnau in a few other places, for example in the Schering or mushroom pond.
In the vicinity of the pond there is a now heavily weathered column capital . It comes from the old Berlin Cathedral, which was demolished in 1893 . A war memorial by Paul Poser is located south of the park between the corner of Wiltinger and Markgrafenstrasse . It was built in 1922 by the residents of Frohnau in honor of those who fell from the First World War . Parts of the inscription are no longer legible, but a quote from Theodor Körner can be seen on the front : “No one is too good at a sacrificial death for freedom and for the honor of his nation, but many are too bad for it.” On the initiative of the landowner -Verein Berlin-Frohnau e. V. a bronze plate was added on July 5, 1959, without including the names of those who fell in World War II . The Simsplatte shows the following text:
“To commemorate those who died in World War I, when the monument was erected in 1922, this saying by the poet Theodor Körner (1791–1813), who fell at the age of 21 in the Wars of Liberation in 1813/1815, was chosen. In view of the victims / two world wars, this inscription must call the living today to reflect. "
Today there is an acrylic sheet at this point, but it does not show all the names.
