Large Tiergarten. Great Tiergarten park, Germany. Gaslamp Museum

You can't help but like Tiergarten Park. One of the largest parks in the world, with an area of ​​210 hectares, located in the center of Berlin, with many monuments from different eras, is simply doomed to increased attention from tourists...

However, after many hours of walking around the Great Tiergarten, mixed feelings arise - admiration is adjacent to surprise and even bewilderment.

I want to say right away: it is beautiful, this huge modern descendant of the ancient German forest, stretching from the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Zoo. With its countless alleys, canals, lakes, ponds, bridges, monuments and sculptural compositions, Tiergarten itself gives the impression of a kind of majestic green monument to German diligence, the love of Berliners for their city. But, as they say, you can’t erase a word from a song...

I'll start with the “official” oddities. We would call the sculptural compositions installed on the Fantasy Hall “military-patriotic themes.” There are four of them, and all of them, judging by the surroundings (clothing, weapons), date back to the period of the First World War. Heavily damaged, some figures are missing arms and even heads. There are no inscriptions on the pedestals, only bullet holes. There are no explanatory signs either. In Berlin, sculptures can be found literally everywhere, among them there are many real, highly artistic works of art, but there are also obscure avant-garde delights and outright kitsch, but there is always some kind of stand or sign nearby with information about the author and the date of installation.

It can be assumed that these sculptures, very interesting in their own way, were previously installed in some other places and appeared in Tiergarten not too long ago. But this is just my guess; an intensive search on Google using photographs upon returning from Berlin did not yield anything. There are photographs of the sculptures on the Internet, but without comments. Agree, strange “secrecy”.

Traces of the activity of “forest vandals”, who disfigure trees with inscriptions on the bark, can, unfortunately, be found in any part of the world and in any green area. Therefore, when I saw in Tiergarten, on the shore of a picturesque overgrown lake, a huge beech tree, covered with the autographs of certain “Hans”, “Bren” and others, I was upset, but not particularly surprised. I took a photo, but had no intention of publishing it.

The surprise came only later, at home, when I was preparing this article, looking at materials about Tiergarten on the Internet and came across an article by a certain Lucy Westphal. Judging by the fact that the article is written in German, she is a resident of Germany. Lucy wrote with delight about the Tiergarten and, in particular, said that on the bark of the trees there are carved... the lyrics to the song “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King! I didn’t believe it at first, but Lucy posted the photo. This, as they say, does not fit into any gates, even the Brandenburg ones... Moreover, all the trees in the park have been counted, each has an individual number and, they say, even a passport.

One of the oddities of the Tiergarten is that the park is quite neglected. And this fact seems strange because Germany in the minds of our compatriots is strongly associated with order and discipline. I must say that in Berlin during my stay there it was quite dirty on the streets. But such that in the park, the world-famous Greater Tiergarten, there are beer bottles lying in the streams and plastic bags floating (which, by the way, are prohibited to use in Berlin, and they are not available in supermarkets), and in the thickets there are uncleaned dead trees and heaps of cut dry branches - not expected. I remembered the parks that I saw in others big cities: Moscow, Kyiv, Polish Gdansk, the comparison is clearly not in favor of Berlin.

This is all the more strange since I did not see a large influx of people walking in the Tiergarten. Although I spent almost the whole day there, besides, the day off was Sunday, and it was a terrible 35-degree heat in Berlin. Some places in the park, picturesque, with beautiful landscape architecture - bridges, fountains, on the contrary, surprised us with their desolation. And this is most likely not an accident, judging by the meager number of benches in the park.

The problem is probably not with the visitors; all these oddities and paradoxes are obviously not on their conscience. The entire infrastructure of the park is concentrated on the outer perimeter of the park, near large transport highways crossing the Tiergarten - 17 July Street, Gofergerallee and others, where cafes, restaurants, beer gardens are densely located, there are attractions and playgrounds, an aquarium, and a zoo. There were a lot of people there on the day of my visit, in some places there were even long queues. And in the shady cool alleys, a little further away, there are rare pedestrians and small flocks of cyclists. Also a paradox. The reason for all the oddities and paradoxes described above is a mystery to me. However, I recommend the Tiergarten park to everyone who visits Berlin. Despite everything.

Großer Tiergarten – Greater Tiergarten

GPS coordinates: 52° 30" 52"" N, 13° 21" 01"" E

The biggest and famous park in the center of Berlin in the Tiergarten district of the same name. Translated from German it means “zoo”. In the center of the park is one of Berlin’s famous squares – Big Star with Victory Column.

Initially, it was a forest right in front of the city gates, which wealthy citizens used for horseback riding and hunting. Over time, the city grew and the park was surrounded by urban buildings. After this, the park was reconstructed in 1742 under the leadership of Georg Wenceslaus von Knobelsdorff and in 1840 by Peter Joseph Lenne.

During World War II, the Greater Tiergarten park suffered greatly; many trees were cut down and used for firewood. In 1949, restoration of the park began when Mayor Ernst Reuther personally planted a lemon tree here. After that others German cities presented seedlings as a gift to Berlin. A list of these cities is on a memorial stone installed on the main alley.

Now the Great Tiergarten park has an area of ​​210 hectares and stretches from west to east for more than 2.5 km. 17 June Street crosses along it, leading from. In the center of the park it intersects with several more highways in the shape of a star, forming a square called Big Star.

The square was founded by the court huntsman of Frederick I, Gemmrich, in 1698. During the reconstruction of the Tiergarten park, it acquired its modern appearance. In 1938, for the 50th anniversary of Hitler, it was moved here Victory Column. The column was originally built under William I in 1873 in honor of the victories of Prussia in the Danish, Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars and was located on the Royal Square (now the Republic Square in front of).

The height of the column is 67 m. On its top there is a sculpture of the goddess of victory Victoria, 8.3 m high, covered in gold, for which it is popularly nicknamed “Golden Elsa”. At an altitude of 48 m there is Observation deck, where you can climb the stairs inside the column. At the bottom of the column there is a small historical museum. In the northern part of the square there is a monument to Otto von Bismarck, also moved here along with the Victory Column in 1937 from the Royal Square.

Other major thoroughfares in Berlin exit from the Big Star Square: Hofegerallee - to the south, Altonaer Strasse - to the north-west. Approximately 250 meters northeast of the Big Star is Bellevue Palace, which houses the residence of the federal president. The palace was built by the architect Michael Philipp Bouman in 1786 as a summer residence for Prince Augustus Ferdinand, the younger brother of Frederick II. The interior of the palace was restored after destruction in World War II according to original sketches.

On the northeastern edge of the park is unusual building in the shape of an open shell. This - Congress Hall, built in 1958. Now it houses the House of World Cultures - a center for contemporary non-European art, founded in 1989. Exhibitions, concerts, and film screenings of artists from Asia, Africa and South America. The annual festival of arts and digital culture Transmediale was also held here several times.

On 17 June Street in the eastern part of the park, approximately 350 meters from memorial to soviet soldiers who died in World War II. It was erected in 1945 by the architect Sergievsky and sculptors Lev Kerbel and Vladimir Tsigal. Behind the monument there is a burial place of approximately 2-2.5 thousand fallen soldiers. This is one of three monuments in memory of a total of 20 thousand Soviet soldiers who died in the Battle of Berlin. The other two are the monument to the Soldier-Liberator in Treptower Park and in Schönholzer Heide in the Pankow district.

In the southwestern part of the Greater Tiergarten park there is Lake Neuer, where you can go boating in summer and ice skating in winter. Here is also one of the best beer restaurants under open air in the city.

Tiergarten is a magnificent park in the center of Berlin, one of the largest parks in the world. Its area is, according to rough estimates, 210 hectares, total length paths - 30 km. It is part of the Berlin district of Mitte. Under the park there is a network of railway and road tunnels leading to the Berlin Central Station, which is located in the neighboring district of Moabit.

History of the park

The park was first mentioned in the sixteenth century, when its territory was the hunting ground of the Brandenburg electors and kings, hence the name of the park - Tiergarten, which means “menagerie”. The first changes occurred with the arrival of King Frederick I, from the second half of the 17th to the beginning of the 18th century, who expanded Unter den Linde, connecting Berlin with the palace in Charlottenburg. Thus began the transformation of the Tiergarten from private property into a public park. It finally took its current form under Frederick II, who ordered the demolition of the fence separating the park from the city and turning the Tiergarten into an amusement park.

At that time, the territory of the park was occupied by a swamp, which was drained, and based on the existing hunting routes, a radial-star composition of the park was developed, in the center of which was the Big Star Square with nine alleys - diverging rays. The territory was decorated with baroque flower beds, sculptures, esplanades, and other architectural decorations. The central alley connecting the palace with the park is today “17 June Street”. In the 1833-40s, the park was redesigned in the English style by the architect Peter Joseph Lanne, forming its final image, turning the park into one of the most wonderful places in Berlin.

During the war years

During the war the park was incredibly damaged, park trees were used local residents to heat their homes.
The first steps in restoring the park were taken in 1949, when burgomaster Ernst Reute planted a lemon tree in a ceremonial ceremony. During the division of Berlin, Tiergarten found itself in the border zone. When Berlin Wall was destroyed, the park was located in the very heart of the metropolis. It was at this time that serious restoration of the park began, since the city center is the face of the city.

In our time

Now the park has become a wonderful vacation spot for city residents; on sunny, warm days it is full of people, people of all ages go to the Tiergarten to escape from the noise of the restless big city. Citizens can hold their own free time on the banks of Neuer See, a beautiful lake, or visit an open-air beer restaurant, which is one of the city's best pubs.

What to see

But there is also something to see here for tourists; the park contains many interesting attractions. For example, Bellevue Palace (Schloss Bellevue) - the castle is located in the northern area of ​​the park. The castle is the residence of the President of Germany, who is currently Christian Wulff.


The Berlin Carillon was built in the park in 1978, close to which are the Grand Duke's Square and the Bismarck monument. On the border with the park there are the Brandenburg Gate, a zoo, embassy missions of various countries, the Cultural Forum and much more.

Also within the park is the Reichstag building - a building with historical value for Berlin, where meetings of the German political body of the same name were held.

Triumphal column or arch (Siegessäule) - historical monument and a landmark of Berlin, located on the Spree embankment. The author of the architectural project was Heinrich Johann Strack.

The Museum of World Cultures is located on the Spree embankment in Tiergarten - the center of non-European contemporary art in Germany.

The monument to the Soviet soldier was erected after the surrender of Germany. The statue was cast according to the design of Kerbel and Tsigal. To balance the architectural composition, near the Brandenburg Gate on the Seventeenth of June Street, a small monument to a screaming woman was erected - a monument to the relatives who remained on the other side of the Wall.

The Greater Tiergarten is a large park area in the center of Berlin. The area of ​​the Greater Tiergarten is 210 hectares.

Note: Due to the similarity of names, confusion of concepts often occurs. There are the Greater Tiergarten (the park in question), the administrative district of Berlin (which is called Tiergarten), the Little Tiergarten park and the Berlin Zoo (which in German is called Tierpark), located on the territory of the greater Tiergarten.

The Greater Tiergarten is today called the green heart of Berlin. This is one of the three largest parks in Germany. Both citizens and guests of the German capital like to spend their free time here. In the park you can walk along numerous paths, sunbathe on the lawns and have picnics.

Historically, for a long time this place was the hunting ground of the Brandenburg electors. To ensure a successful hunt for the highest officials of the state, wild animals were specially released here. A huge area of ​​the forest was fenced off so that animals could not run out of the territory where the hunt was taking place. This is where the name comes from - Tiergarten, literally translated from German, means “Animal Park”.

During the reign of the Prussian King Frederick I, several roads were built through the forest, connecting Berlin with the new Charlottenburg Palace and other territories. With the beginning of the reign of Frederick the Great, in the middle of the 18th century, who did not like hunting, the hunting grounds ceased to exist.

In 1742, Frederick the Great ordered his court architect Georg Wenzelaus von Knobelsdorff to build an amusement park for the people on the site of Tiergarten. Knobelsdorff removes barriers and lays out a park in the Baroque style - flower beds are organized, plants are planted in geometric proportions, artificial ponds and ponds, sculptures, gazebos, fountains and benches are installed along the paths. At the same time, a Pheasant Farm was opened in Tiergarten for the entertainment of the public, from which the Berlin Zoo would later grow.

Since the end of the 18th century, changes have been taking place in park fashion - the Baroque is replacing the ideals of the English landscape park. Court gardeners Justus Ehrenreich Zello and Peter Joseph Lenne are decorating the Tiergarten in a new way. The swampy forest areas of the park are being drained, and paths for horseback riding and walking are being laid everywhere. Instead of flower beds, lawns and clearings appear, in ponds there are islands with numerous bridges leading to them, and a rose garden opens up. In this form, the Great Tiergarten existed without changes until the end of the 19th century.

At the end of the 19th century, in connection with new trends, numerous monuments were erected in the park - to Queen Louise and her husband Friedrich Wilhelm III, writers Goethe, Lessing, Fontana, composers Richard Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn.

During Nazi Germany, the Tiergarten was included in the plan to rebuild Berlin into the "Germany Capital of the World". The Charlottenburg Highway (now 17 June Street) was widened by 15 meters, and the Victory Column was moved to the center of Tiergarten.

After the end of World War II, due to a shortage of coal, trees from the Tiergarten were used as fuel. Of the 200 thousand trees in the park, only 700 remained. Vegetable gardens were set up in the free areas.

Since 1961, the Tiergarten has been gradually restored. Reservoirs were cleaned, trees were planted, bridges, monuments and paths were repaired. After the reunification of Germany, in 1991, the Greater Tiergarten was placed under state protection as a monument of landscape art.

The main entrance to the memorial is located on the 17 June street. There are two soviet tank T-34s, the first to enter the city in 1945, as well as two cannons that proclaimed the end of the Battle of Berlin with their salvos.

Berlin parks: interesting facts about Tiergarten

The largest public park in Berlin was not such for a long time, although its territory was actively used. The first mention of Tiergarten dates back to 1521. It was then that it was decided to turn the forest, located outside the city gates, into a royal hunting ground. A little later, the land was expanded to the west and north, surrounded by a fence, and for the always successful royal hunt, the territory was populated with wild animals.

Towards the end of the next 17th century and at the beginning of the 18th century, during the reign of Frederick I, it was decided to extend the then existing Unter den Linden boulevard to the west in order to connect it with a direct road royal palaces located in Mitte and Charlottenburg. At the same time, it was decided to improve the territory of the modern park, through which the royal road ran.

The son of Frederick I - Frederick II or Frederick the Great - was indifferent to hunting and ordered the fences to be removed, the final design of the park to be completed, gazebos to be laid out, gravel paths to be laid and the area made accessible to townspeople. This is how Lustgarten appeared and acquired its first name - the first public park in the heart of Berlin.

Second World War did not spare the park: very little remains of it. What remained was quickly used in the first years after the war for heating. In the vacated space, once shady and green, they grew primarily potatoes, as well as other vegetables.

In 1949, it was decided to restore the park. For this purpose, the architects developed a detailed plan for planting and arranging the Tiergarten. Many cities sent trees and seedlings to Berlin as help and support, without which rapid landscaping would not have been possible.

During the years of divided Berlin, the park entered the western part of the city and was one of the few places for outdoor recreation for its residents, cut off from the suburbs by a wall.

After the reunification of Germany and with the transfer of the capital to Berlin, the streets bordering the park were rebuilt. Thus, in the south of the park the embassy district was restored, and the adjacent Scandinavian embassy district was built.

Homosexual Tiergarten

Walking through the park in the summer months, you can come across a large clearing, flooded with sun and dotted with mostly naked male bodies. Yes, representatives of the LGBT community meet here to relax and are completely no different from other vacationers here. Except for the lack of clothes. They also have picnics, play badminton or volleyball, read and simply enjoy the fresh air and silence of the park.

While some readers, wringing their hands, cry out “Rotting Europe!” historical reference: homosexual communities in the Tiergarten, and in Berlin as well, are not a new phenomenon at all. Already in the 1840s, police reported regular male meetings in the park. In 1854, the scientific work of Dr. Jonn Ludwig Kasper was published, devoted to a detailed study of the phenomenon of homosexuality. This work is considered the first work in which homosexuality is regarded not as a disease or a crime, but as an innate property of a person. At the turn of the century, the first homosexual organizations and thematic magazines appeared in Berlin. Even then, the areas around Nollendorf Square became, as today, a well-known and recognized gay scene in Berlin. By the way, in 2008, a monument to representatives of the LGBT community who suffered persecution during Nazi times was erected in the southeastern part of the park.

Tiergarten today

Tiergarten today is a park stretching from the Brandenburg Gate to the Zoologischer Garten station or zoo, which is also located within the park. In the center of the park, at the intersection of the main highways of the city, stands the Berlin Victory Column or Siegessäule. The 69-meter-high column is decorated with an 8-meter statue of the goddess Victoria, to which you can climb and enjoy the panorama of Berlin.

In addition, on the territory of the park there is a monument to the fallen Soviet soldiers, built immediately after the end of the Second World War, the House of World Cultures (Haus der Kulturen der Welt),carillon located next toHome of world cultures. By the way, the Berlin carillon, consisting of 68 bells, is one of the largest in Europe and the fourth in the world in terms of the number of bells.

Cafe am Neuen See

There are several lakes in the park, some of them, such as Neuer See, have been landscaped and have cafes and restaurants on their shores. Here in the summer months one of the most works. On hot days, you can rent a boat and take a boat trip along the park's canals.

It’s worth coming here for leisurely walks, sports, and picnics. Shaded pedestrian alleys pass through the park; convenient bicycle paths are laid around the park, allowing you to fly from west to east of the city practically without a single traffic light.
