The absurd idea of erecting a fence around Mauerpark and charging admission left us speechless.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t 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\u2019t have enough money. That bucks the gentrification trend that can be observed in so many other places in the city.<\/p>\n

We were clearly not alone in vehemently rejecting this absurd idea. A number of key players in the community also rejected it: S\u00f6ren Benn (Major of Berlin Pankow), Matthias Zarbock (leader of the Die Linke party in Pankow district council) and Roland Schr\u00f6der (leader of the SPD party in Pankow district council).<\/p>\n

We cherish Mauerpark as an internationally important place for people to meet, a venue for cultural activities, a place that celebrates diversity and what brings people together rather than keeping them apart. It is unique and we will continue to protect that uniqueness.<\/p>\n
