Freunde des Mauerparks reject out of hand Pankow Public Order Office’s proposal to legalise the sale of alcohol in Mauerpark. Licensing sales outlets would not solve the problem of illegal sales. On the contrary: it would make things worse. More alcohol is not what is needed to promote harmony and respect in the park. What we do need is for the Public Order Office to do its job: they said themselves that they...
We take a firm stance against right-wing extremism, anti-semitism, conspiracy nonsense and Corona denial. We distance ourselves from KDW demonstrations in Mauerpark. #WirSindNichtEureKulisse #WirSindMauerpark
The absurd idea of erecting a fence around Mauerpark and charging admission left us speechless. What makes Mauerpark attractive, what makes it special is the fact that it is a place where everyone can participate in cultural activities. It doesn’t cost anything. And everyone is welcome in Mauerpark: Berliners and visitors, rich and poor, young and old. We have always made sure no-one is excluded because they don’t...
Six months after the Kulturgemeinschaft Mauerpark launched the Mauerpark Round Table, the borough’s mayor, Sören Benn (Die Linke party) has announced new park rules: www.berlin.de/ba-pankow/aktuelles/pressemitteilungen In numerous arduous discussions at the meetings of the Round Table, residents, musicians, grass roots groups and civil servants had talked about how to reconcile culture in the park with the need of...
For the last 15 years Mauerpark has enjoyed peaceful celebrations to dance in the May. This was made possible by the hard work and commitment of artists and neighbours. This year, the celebrations have been cancelled as a result of complaints by residents. After so many years, the excellent collaboration between Pankow Council, the police and volunteers has come to an abrupt end. Pankow Council and the police are...
Mauerpark is an important cultural hotspot with a special symbolic value. It is important for Berlin’s borough of Pankow but at the same time it enjoys worldwide fame and popularity. The site where the Berlin Wall used to be - where armed guards with orders to shoot once kept people apart - has evolved into a peaceful place of cultural diversity that is full of life. On sunny days people from all different...
Mauerpark is not just a park. As a small reminder: it means “Wall Park” and is where THE Wall used to be – with its barbed wire, watchtowers and armed guards with orders to shoot. But now, every Sunday, it is full of people from all over the world, including Berliners who have lived here all their lives and the newcomers who are proud to call it home. Mauerpark is unparalleled as a place that brings together people...

The hot summer months in Mauerpark are over for this year and so things should start to quieten down naturally: the crowds, the music and the protests. So it is time to take stock and the attempt to do that has led to intensive discussions among all stakeholders: local residents, street musicians in and round the park, the parks and gardens’ department, the Public Order Office, the police and local politicians....
