Galerie im Körnerpark

Green oasis of the arts

Schierker Straße 8
Berlin 12051

When this green oasis in built-up Neukölln was created 100 years ago, no one could guess that it would one day be ruined by the noise of aircrafts overhead. The building of Tempelhof Airport in the 1930's threatened to be the end of the idyllic park. Officials wanted to remove it, but the park was eventually saved thanks to protests by locals. Fortunate, because Tempelhof Airport now has little air traffic and Körnerpark has returned to its original peaceful state. The neo-classical Orangerie has a small café and an art gallery—the Galerie im Körnerpark—one of Berlin's most atmospheric exhibition centres.
