Ernst-Thälmann-Park

It includes paths, playgrounds, sports equipment, the Zeiss-Großplanetarium, and the Ernst-Thälmann memorial. [1][2]

The park is a designated public green area, and the official park pages list no booking process or general admission fee. General visitor cost is UNVERIFIED as of the price check on 2026-08-02. [1]

The planetarium exhibition is free, while planetarium shows and other facility prices are separate and UNVERIFIED. [1]

The park renewal includes paths, barriers, calisthenics, fitness equipment, and table tennis, but temporary access details for every work area are UNVERIFIED. [1]

The planetarium exhibition has separate hours from the open park, including late opening until 22:00 on some Fridays and Saturdays. [1]

The park itself has no seasonal opening schedule in the official sources. Seasonal crowd differences are UNVERIFIED. [1]

The park suits nearby residents, families, walkers, and people using sports or cultural facilities. [1]

Allow 45 to 90 minutes for the park and memorial, or two to four hours when adding the planetarium or other facilities; this is a planning estimate. [1][2]

People seeking a fully open museum and cultural complex should check facility status first because renovation closures are active in 2026. [1]

The planetarium exhibition lists free admission and wheelchair accessibility, with hours that change during school holidays. [1]

The site was Berlin's fourth municipal gasworks from 1872, producing gas, coke, tar, sulphur, and ammonia. [1]

The gasworks was gradually demolished after a political decision in 1982, and the housing and green complex opened in 1986. [1][2]

The park has been under monument protection since 2014, and a 2019 plan for 600 additional apartments was abandoned after protests. [1][2]

Contamination from the former gasworks led to remediation work from 1991 to 1994 and further work through 2009. [1]
