Dear friends of Mauerpark, What a challenging year 2020 was. Life in Mauerpark was pretty much dominated by the corona pandemic and things were generally quieter than usual. Really wild celebrations were not possible this year and that will certainly apply to New Year’s Eve. In an attempt to contain the pandemic, the city authorities have designated numerous no-go zones for fireworks in Berlin. They include the...
World Cleanup Day is taking place for the 10th time this year. We are going to take this opportunity to do something good for the city. Littering is a huge problem in Berlin too and Mauerpark is no exception. In conjunction with the local organisers wirBerlin, we would like to invite all the friends of Mauerpark, along with local people and visitors, to take action and help make Mauerpark a little bit cleaner....
Freunde des Mauerparks e.V. and Zug der Liebe e.V. would like to invite their supporters, Mauerpark neighbours, and Berliners and their guests to come and get to know the new Mauerpark. A total of 25 associations and initiatives will be there with information stands. We will be giving guided tours to offer visitors a glimpse of some of Mauerpark’s special features – new and old. We hope this will provide the...
We are thrilled and eager to see what will happen after the Fall of the Fence when there will be a new park for us to experience. Its size will be unfamiliar to us but it will be a continuation of the park we are familiar with.
Five photographers, five windows onto the former death strip 25 years after Mauerpark opened, a photo exhibition depicts the new life that has evolved on the site where the Berlin Wall once stood. Gone is the barbed wire and the threat of death; replaced by life and fun – karaoke, street food, artists, street musicians and a flea market. The common thread connecting the work is the individual way each photographer...
We have one request to everyone who is thinking of coming to the Mauerpark to see in the New Year: Please spare a thought for the wildlife in the park and celebrate without bangers and rockets. A lot of animals live in the Mauerpark and the noise, smoke and flashes of fireworks are terrifying for them. The park is one of the very few safe places for them to seek refuge in the city. Please don’t destroy that for...

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...
