The People's Park Koepenick is a 1929 Opened recreational park in Berlin 's Treptow-Koepenick . The design was based on plans by the gardening director Erwin Barth . The Berlin Senate classified the park as a garden monument in 1993 .
history
After the completion of the Köpenick hospital , the Köpenick council meeting decided to design an adjacent area as a public park. The first drafts existed as early as 1913. Between 1926 and 1929, a "green lung" with straight avenues, flower beds, benches and lawns was created for the residents and patients, planned and executed under the direction of Erwin Barth, who had already designed several jewelry spaces in Berlin .
In the 1980s, during the GDR era, slight redesigning measures were carried out after the situation was surveyed, under the responsibility of the district building authority and the Berlin chief architect Roland Korn .
description
The green area is located opposite the Köpenick hospital and forms a triangular area of almost seven hectares . Ornamental plantings of ornamental lawns and herbaceous borders determine the eastern edge of the park, which has several free entrances and is handicapped accessible . In connection with the construction of the refugee home in the 2010s, substitute plantings had to be made for felled trees. The Köpenick Green Spaces Office also replanted some pines in the Volkspark.
In 2015, an information board financed with own funds was set up in the main access area of the park on the initiative of the Heimatverein. It was designed in terms of content based on research by Stefan Förster from the Heimatverein, presents the history of its origins and shows historical views.
A pensioner from the nearby Salvador-Allende district , Eberhard Aurich , works as a volunteer park ranger in coordination with the district office .
A tree count from 2016 showed that there are 810 trees in the park, mainly oak , maple , pine , locust , black walnut and linden .
Sport and freetime
In the center of the park there is an open, slightly modeled play and sunbathing area. This is followed by two playgrounds with a slide, seesaw, swings and a climbing frame. Table tennis tables and ball game areas also invite you to use them.
In 2016 a (first) balloon and kite festival took place on the central meadow of the park. It was initiated, among others, by the Allende 2 hilft and Refugees welcome association , and the residents of the refugee container village were also very active.
art
During the creation of the park in 1927, which made magistrate from Berlin to since 1891 on the Spittelmarkt established Spindler fountain (named after its founder, the acting in Koepenick laundry owner Carl Spindler ) enable the People's Park Koepenick. This created space for the redesign of the Spittelmarkt.
In 1981 the fountain in Volkspark Köpenick was dismantled and rebuilt on Spittelmarkt in Berlin city center .
After the political change , the now responsible Berlin Senate had the Volkspark rebuilt as far as possible according to the original plans. In 2003, the then district office of Köpenick commissioned landscape architects from the artist Hans Loidl from the Loidl studio to replace the former Spindlerbrunnen . The work of art consists of a rectangular pedestal, a tower 3.50 meters high in a fountain basin, both made of yellow clinker bricks . The jewelry complex is loosened up by small fountains and integrated benches. The new fountain can also be used as a paddling pool .
To protect against wild scribbles and destruction, the Heimatverein, in cooperation with the Panterdesign company, organized a graphic design of the street furniture in the park with students from the Wilhelm-Bölsche-Schule from the Friedrichshagen district of Köpenick .
In 2017, the Heimatverein Köpenick ensured that the previous monochrome octagonal metal waste paper baskets on the park paths were decorated with photos of Köpenick sights. The funds for this campaign came from the Senate's “Colorful Neighborhood” program.
