The “Park am Nordbahnhof“ is an essential compensatory measure to balance the man-made interventions in nature and landscape. Against this background, the urban near-natural park was developed under the concept of a large meadow at Nordbahnhof, in the city center of Berlin. The uniqueness of the park is a result of its location in the urban space, the vegetation and the multifaceted traces of history (former Stettiner Bahnhof, the Berlin Wall and urban wasteland).
“ …The combination of the basically competing, opposite aspects of ecology and intensive park use in an overall concept has been achieved in a convincing manner. “
