Welcome to

THE BRITZER GARDEN

Created in 1985 for the National Horticultural Show.

The 90-hectare Britzer Garden offers garden art, gastronomy, concerts, events, sports and health facilities, animals and a museum railway. Above all, however, it offers beautifully manicured gardens and pristine nature. In 2002 it was voted one of Germany’s ten most beautiful gardens.

Important special events include "Tulips in the Britzer Garden", and the “Major Dahlia Show.“

Gardens of the World

In Marzahn Recreational Park

On 9 May 1987 the Berlin Horticultural Show opened in Berlin Marzahn. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall a number of changes took place. The new name, Marzahn Recreational Park, was conferred in 1991. In place of small themed gardens large lawns were laid and play areas and playgrounds set up; trees were planted and the special gardens were redesigned and extended.

Nature Park

Schöneberger Südgelände

Untamed nature, forgotten technology and works of art. On the site of the former railway switchyard in Berlin Tempelhof a unique natural landscape has evolved with striking relics of the Age of Steam. Following the closure of the switchyard an “ancient forest“ became established on the 18-hectare site. Thanks to the efforts of many concerned citizens and with the financial backing of the Allianz Environmental Foundation, this magical place was made accessible to the general public.

Competitions

The creation of urban public open spaces, gardens, parks, squares and promenades requires a high level of creativity and sensitivity in order to meet the different demands regarding function and design and to incorporate the project into the existing cityscape. At the same time tenders must deliver aesthetically pleasing sustainable solutions that are both forward looking and cost effective.

Grün Berlin GmbH invites tenders for exceptional urban open spaces in conjunction with the region of Berlin. In the past tenders awarded have included contracts for the Lustgarten, Monbijoupark and Spreebogen Park in the government district.   From autumn 2009 Grün Berlin GmbH will be responsible for one of the most important open space projects in Berlin – the development of the 220-hectare Tempelhof Field. For this project the company will invite open space planning tenders from around the globe.

Grün Berlin GmbH is also co-organiser of the Peter Joseph Lenné Award, the most prestigious international competition for young landscape architects.
