Parks

Mauerpark

Open Air Karaoke in summer and the flea market on Sunday all year round - these are the two highlights that most people associate with Mauerpark.

The place takes its name from the Berlin Wall (“Mauer” in German), which marked the frontier between East and West here – and actually there is still a stretch of genuine Berlin Wall standing there. This park of 10 hectares scores above all with its atmosphere, defined by artists and musicians showing off their skills here in a private jam session or the infamous Bearpit Karaoke.

On top of that, you can enjoy a big BBQ area, a climbing wall, the playground on Falkplatz, as well as parties and regular events like the peaceful Walpurgis Night or the New Year’s Party which make up a lot of the charme of this park. Hipsters and families with children from Prenzlauer Berg share this park with tourists. Downside: Mauerpark has unfortunately a chronical trash problem which is very noticeable after nice summer weekends and Sunday’s flea market.
