Rixdorfer Höhe
Rixdorfer Höhe is a 67.9 metre rubble hill in Volkspark Hasenheide, created from postwar building debris.
Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berlin.de. 52.48459, 13.41229.
What it is
The hill is part of a roughly 50 hectare public park with paths, open lawns, and other recreation areas. [1]
Practical
The hill has no entry fee or booking process, and the surrounding park is a public open space. [1]
A normal visit is free, while the official pages do not list a separate paid service at the hill in the price check on 2026-08-02. [1][2]
The hill is reached within Hasenheide, and the current park information gives public transport connections for the park. [1]
UNVERIFIED estimate: allow 30 to 60 minutes for the hill, or 1.5 to 2 hours with a longer Hasenheide walk. [1]
Times and seasons
The current sources do not publish separate opening hours for Rixdorfer Höhe, so the hill’s precise seasonal hours are UNVERIFIED. [1]
Daylight is the practical choice because the site is an outdoor hill and the park information does not describe lighting on the paths. [1]
The hill was included in Hasenheide climate-resilience works, and the district’s current page says the park remains open during construction. [1]

History
Rixdorfer Höhe was formed from rubble between 1948 and 1953, and the expanded park opened in 1951. [1]
Garden director Kurt Pöthig led the park expansion that incorporated the rubble hill. [1]
The Trümmerfrau monument was moved during the 1986 park renovation, and later climate-resilience works affected parts of the hill. [1][2]
