Historia

On the edge of Kreuzberg, where trains once connected Berlin to Vienna, a park now blooms on the ruins.

Görlitzer Bahnhof opened in eighteen sixty-five. In nineteen thirty-eight,

Hitler passed through its platform on his way back from seizing Czechoslovakia — a turning point before the war that would destroy everything.

The station was destroyed during the Battle of Berlin. By nineteen sixty-one, the Berlin Wall turned the site into a fenced wasteland.

In the nineteen eighties, squatters and artists moved in. Wild plants took over the tracks. The neighborhood fought for a park.

At the end of the nineteen eighties, the park was built on the ruins. They excavated the old underground railway tunnel a ghost from the station's past — and left it exposed, creating a crater in the middle like a natural amphitheater.

On the crater's edge stands a steel sculpture called Schreitender Mensch, fourteen meters tall, made from the old railway tracks.

From station to wasteland to wilderness to park. This is Görlitzer. Download the app and I'll take you there and show you around it.
