Falkplatz
Falkplatz is a tree-lined public green space beside Mauerpark and the Max-Schmeling-Halle, with a water fountain and paths.
Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berlin.de. 52.54560, 13.40462.
What it is
The square connects directly to Mauerpark, but it remains a separate district-owned park area. [1]
Practical
Falkplatz is public green space with no booking process or visitor fee listed in the official sources. General visitor cost is UNVERIFIED as of the price check on 2026-08-02. [1]
The Falkplatz renovation is reported complete, while wider Mauerpark work continues through 2027. Temporary changes around the connection to Mauerpark are UNVERIFIED. [1][2]
Times and seasons
Who it suits, and when
The square suits walkers, families, people using the fountain and paths, and visitors moving between Mauerpark and the sports hall. [1]
Allow 30 to 90 minutes for a pause or short walk, with longer visits when combined with Mauerpark; this is a planning estimate based on the site's connection to the larger park. [1]
People seeking a stand-alone attraction with a large indoor programme should use the nearby sports hall or Mauerpark because Falkplatz itself is a neighborhood green space. [1]
What is not obvious
The public park authority changed in 2025, but the land and formal authority for special uses remain with the district. [1]
History
Falkplatz was planned under the Hobrecht plan, named in 1906, and laid out as a garden area between 1907 and 1913. [1]
During the division of Berlin, a section of the former border strip crossed the western side of the square and later became part of Mauerpark. [1][2]
The 2026 renovation was completed on 4 June 2026, while the current project page does not name a single person who started the original square. [1][2]
