The historically significant elements of the garden become the basis for a contemporary renewal. The formal and spatial characteristics of the planning at that time will be taken up and further developed within the framework of a careful transformation.

The existing dense woody edge will be loosened up through targeted interventions. Wooded islands are created as an unmistakable characteristic of the new park. They interweave the park space with the surrounding urban space and are both a connecting and protective element. As a seemingly continuous hedge body, they connect the individual parts of the park into a large, uniform complex.

A varying height of the existing trees at the edges of the park supports the formation of varied spaces. The thinned-out tree population allows light and warmth into the park, creating generous perspectives and wide, multifunctional lawns.

So-called "functional pearls" reflect the complex programming of the park. It aims to integrate the different use interests of all visitors in adequate and safe spaces.

The complex programming of the park aims to integrate the different use interests of all visitors in adequate and safe spaces. In order to elaborate these interests and to integrate them into the park concept in a meaningful way, numerous events were organized and moderated by the Coordination Office for Urban Development and Project Management - KoSP GmbH, or Moabiter Ratschlag e.V., which were partly carried out and accompanied by Latz Partner.

The different events of the participation process are presented in more detail under "Stories".
