Mauerpark Park on no man's land

Eberswalder Strasse Berlin, Berlin 10437 +49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information) http://www.mauerpark.de/

This one kilometre long strip of no man's land between the West Berlin district of Wedding and East Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg was turned into a park after the fall of the Wall. The park is hardly pretty, yet it is full of atmosphere, embued with history. Situated on a slope which rises up to the Ludwig Jahn Sports Stadium, the park is crowned at its peak by a graffiti-strewn concrete wall. Modern art installations are dotted around the park - typical Berlin pieces made of metal and concrete. The view to the west is dominated by grey high-rise buildings, to the east by the threatening TV Tower. Locals walk their dogs and sunbathe on the spot which, just over 10 years ago, was heavily-mined and patrolled by armed guards. Review © 2009, Wcities
