What it is
The district describes children as the main current users of the square. [1]
Practical
The square is a public green space with no booking process listed by the district. General visitor cost is UNVERIFIED as of the price check on 2026-08-02. [1]
The official page describes two equipped playgrounds, but it gives no current information about queues, toilets, or temporary closures. Those details are UNVERIFIED. [1]
Times and seasons
Who it suits, and when
The square suits families, children, people taking a short rest, and residents using a small neighborhood park. [1]
Allow 20 to 60 minutes for a pause or playground visit; this is a planning estimate based on the square's size and facilities. [1]
People seeking a major sightseeing site may find too little to do here beyond the park, playgrounds, and local history markers. [1]
What is not obvious
A 1996 monument by Michael Klein commemorates the writers Achim and Bettina von Arnim. [1]
History
Arnimplatz was planned in the Hobrecht plan of 1862 and laid out between 1905 and 1907. [1]
Before the square was laid out, a pond called Pankpfuhl was drained and filled. [1]
During the Second World War the central roundel was removed for a fire-water basin, and residents later grew vegetables there during wartime and the postwar period. [1]
