Discover more about Mauerpark

Mauerpark, meaning 'Wall Park,' is a testament to Berlin's transformation from a divided city to a unified metropolis. Located on the former 'death strip' of the Berlin Wall, it now serves as a vibrant public space where people from all walks of life converge. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the area was transformed into a park, officially opening in 1994. Landscape architect Gustav Lange oversaw the reconstruction, creating a space that blends recreation with historical reminders. Today, a 300-meter section of the Berlin Wall still stands in the park, adorned with colorful street art. The park is particularly lively on Sundays, hosting a popular flea market where vendors sell everything from second-hand clothing and vintage furniture to antiques and local crafts. The Mauerpark flea market is open every Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm. In the park's amphitheater, the 'Bearpit Karaoke' show draws large crowds of performers and spectators. This event typically takes place on Sunday afternoons, from spring to autumn. Mauerpark also offers various recreational activities, including sports facilities, playgrounds, and green spaces for relaxation. Families, artists, musicians, and athletes all find a place in this urban oasis. The park's expansion, completed in 2019, added more open space and emphasized quieter areas for recreation and community engagement.
