history

The older section of the city park was laid out on March 1, 1904 under the direction of the city gardener Gustav Gierlich . It has served as a zoo since 1956 and in 2015 it was home to around 200 animals of 39 species. The newer part was created in 1936 as an extension of the existing section. Its design language picks up on the late 1920s. The design goes back to Hellmuth Späth , the son of the founder of the Späth tree nursery, Franz Ludwig Späth , from Berlin . He planned a meadow on an almost square floor plan, which was characterized by an outer path, which he called the “Great Walkway” and a “Small Walkway”. On the north side of the meadow, which is expanding in north-south direction, a plant bed created the transition to the older section. At the southern end, Späth planned a pergola , which, with its 70 meters length, was the defining element of the park. It can be entered from two entrances to the east and west. In the western part of the park there is a lawn for sunbathing, a sandpit and a gym. In 1965, a small park café opened in the southeast corner, which reflected the zeitgeist of the time. In the following decades, however, the routes were hardly recognizable. Since 1996 the city has been gradually restoring the spatial relationships and routes. She renovated the pergola and the embankment walls and restored the ornamental bed.

In 2013 a document was published showing the sculpture in the Berlin State Library .
