The Spreepark is Berlin’s famous abandoned amusement park – everyone knows it. It has been rotting away between Plänterwald’s trees since 2001. Only a couple dinosaurs, a rusty rollercoaster, a lonely pirate ship and a couple remnants of a wild west town remain. The park was originally opened as “VEB Kulturpark Plänterwald” to commemorate the 20th birthday of the GDR in 1969. The city is now planning to reopen the park, although not in it’s original form. But “dit is Berlin” (“That’s Berlin”) – where nothing goes as planned. Since the end of July you can take tours through Spreepark again, more information here.
