Spreebogenpark, Berlin, Germany

According to the plans of the Swiss office Weber and Sauer, the Spreebogenpark was created on the basis of a landscaping competition. The six-acre green area is a classically designed park with a contemporary shape and thematizes the combination of history and future in terms of design and urban planning. The spatial distribution of the Spreebogen Park is achieved by means of distinctive borders, precisely formulated edges and clear path relationships. The wide lawns and landscaped gardens provide space for recreation, as well as sporting and cultural activities. On the area, small groups of trees with indigenous trees such as beech and oak trees, as well as exotic species such as sunflowers and amber trees, accentuate the special spatial situation of the crossroads and divide the park into different zones. A pavilion in the eastern part also offers a place for open-air events. The entire level of the large lawn is five meters above the waterfront at the historic city level. As a result, the effect of the landscaping exaggeration by the attached, inclined planes and the incision by the Landschaftsfester be reinforced. Modern retaining wall constructions made of reinforced concrete with a smooth and non-porous surface complete the reconstructed shoreline and are at the same time the supporting structure of the ascending panorama path. Integrated into this retaining wall are stairs and ramps that lead to the level of the city level and form the connection to the Panoramaweg. In addition to the new topographical feature of the sloping grassy plains and the landscape window, the sand-colored paths on the waterfront are a special feature of the Spreebogenpark. Two theme gardens connect the waterfront with the park on the city level. The Hochstaudenwiese the eastern, to the Spree open garden trace with grasses, stork beak, Wildastern, bellflowers and many other perennials symbolizes the time of the Berlin wall, when wild shrubs settled and grew free at this point. In the western part along the waterfront, the bank cover wall is open. The precisely cut element pushes on the Spree as a sculpture and visualizes the intrusion of the new. At this point, the Panoramaweg spans the cut-out area on the waterfront and at the same time provides protection against rain and provides shade. The panorama trail runs above the waterfront promenade along the inner Spreebogen, partly in the form of a balcony over the Uferdeckwand. It offers on the way best views over the Spree on the opposite Spree, the Berlin Central Station, the Humboldthafen and the waterfront promenade from the Kapellufer to Schifferbauer dam with the Paul-Löbe-Haus. The final form of the Spreebogenpark could not be fully realized due to planning constraints. The provisional road management in the government district must first be resolved with long-term planning.
