Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berlin.de. 52.47499, 13.44229.

Practical

The address is Richardstraße 35, 12055 Berlin. The current public pages list daily hours. They list no admission price, so admission is UNVERIFIED after a price check on 2026-08-02. The current public pages list no booking system or queue policy, so those points are UNVERIFIED. [1][2][3][4]

Times and seasons

The current listed hours are 12:30 to 19:30 every day. The sources give no reliable seasonal access difference, so that point is UNVERIFIED. [1][2]

Who it suits, and when

The garden suits visitors interested in plants, public space, and the ideas of Comenius, as well as school and day-care groups. People seeking a large park or a formal museum may avoid it because the garden is a small themed site with a short daily access window. A rough visit takes 30 to 60 minutes, based on the garden layout and listed features, and this is an estimate. [1][2][3]

What is not obvious

The garden is organized as a symbolic life path, so the planting plan carries an educational meaning beyond ordinary park use. [1]

History

Planning began in 1987 on the vacant site of the former Mietskaserne Richardsburg. The garden foundation was marked in 1992 by a Comenius monument, with Alexander Dubček present. The garden was laid out in 1995 with support from the Berlin Senate and the Lotto Foundation. The current Stiftung Comenius-Garten was founded in 2025 with Senate funds. [1][2][3][4]
