history

Castle Park Buch

The castle with the park has existed since 1607. Baron Gerhard Bernhard von Pölnitz acquired the park with the castle around 1670. He had the castle redesigned and the park expanded as a Dutch baroque garden . In addition, a canal system was created that was used for fish farming. Baron von Pölnitz died in 1679, after which Adam Otto von Viereck acquired the park in 1724, had it expanded and an orangery built. The palace was rebuilt according to plans by the architect Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs . In front of the castle there was a terrace and a fountain . There was also a nursery with a pineapple house, a pheasantry and a maze in the park . The new owners, the von Voss family, had it redesigned as a landscape park between 1810 and 1820 . In addition, the family acquired adjacent meadows and a piece of forest. A pond was created, a hill was raised, and wooden bridges spanned the Panke. Julie von Voss helped the park to a certain degree of popularity through her relationship with Friedrich Wilhelm II as a morganatic wife.

In 1898 the estate with park and palace was sold to the city of Berlin. The park has been open to the public since 1906. Between 1955 and 1957, extensive restoration work was carried out in the palace gardens according to plans by Folkwin Wendland. Until 1960 there was a memorial stone for Julie von Voss in the park . After the orangery was demolished in 1955, the palace was also blown up in 1964 for political reasons. Both buildings survived the Second World War unscathed. A rose plant was created in their place. The Mitwelt sculpture by the sculptor Carl Blümel has stood there since 1987 .

There is a small pond in the park through which the Panke flows. The Soviet memorial for the fallen soldiers of the Red Army stands on Wiltbergstrasse . Since 1993, the Berlin list of monuments has included the palace park as a garden monument. The first construction phase of the restoration and redevelopment of the park took place as part of the urban redevelopment east from November 2013 to spring 2014. Gradually, the historic paths and watercourses were restored to their original form, and the entrance area on Alt-Buch street was renovated in accordance with the preservation of historical monuments. The renovation included the addition of the three gates and the enclosure with walls and ornamental grilles; At the same time, the square on the street side was renewed. At the entrance on Wiltbergstrasse, the historic enclosure with a clinker base and decorative grilles was restored. The old wire mesh fence was replaced by a simple bar fence and the last section that was not yet fenced in was also fenced in.

The second construction phase began in September 2017, with further park paths being repaired and the former viewing hill on the Hochzeitsweg redesigned. Financial resources of around 300,000  euros are made available. The third construction phase is scheduled to begin in 2018/2019. The ground floor of the former orangery is to be redesigned, the Dutch Garden is to be partially restored and new park benches and rubbish baskets are to be set up. Financial resources of around 380,000 euros are available.

Flora and fauna

The entire park consists entirely of plantings. This applies not only to trees and bushes, but also to nodding milk star , hollow larkspur , Siberian squill , strange leeks , fragrant white root and other flowers and herbs. The forest yellow star , which already blooms in February and March, takes up a large part of the area in the park . Some of the seeds for the lawn were supplied from southern Germany and France . There are also very old English oaks , linden trees and red beeches in the park. The fact that the castle park was designated as a Natura 2000 area is thanks to the large oak goat and the hermit , two species of beetle that live in the trees.

The part of the Natura 2000 area east of the Pölnitzweg was never included in the planning of the park, so the forest area there was able to develop undisturbed. A quarry forest grows on boggy ground along the Panke and ash , white elm , sycamore maple grow in the high dry area, and further up the slope there are mixed oak and hornbeam forests. The old tree population of the common oak attracts rare species of beetles. The middle woodpecker settles there , the green woodpecker , small woodpecker , great spotted woodpecker and other cave-breeders find enough breeding trees and food there. This part of the forest area may not be entered.

Protection purpose

The park and the adjacent forest area have for their remarkable Altbaum- and dead wood stocks and the high groundwater level and thus marked floors - as Gleybraunerde and fens are protected, so that wildlife and plants will receive and develop -. Furthermore, the habitat types listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive , such as the central European pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest and the alder-ash forest as the remainder of the panacea forest, must be protected. The hermit beetle species listed in Annex II of the Habitats Directive, the medium-sized woodpecker listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive , and the bat species that inhabit tree hollows listed in Annex IV of the Habitats Directive must also be protected. The species-rich wet and fresh meadows and the park water system must be preserved or restored. According to the European Water Framework Directive , the Panke must be restored to a good ecological condition.
