Playground Luisenkita, Berlin-Charlottenburg Playground for the age group 3-6 years

In the context of the listed church by K.F. Schinkel, the playground from the 90s was completely redesigned: The result is a play landscape made of oak logs, climbing ropes, various wooden platforms, a playhouse and a nest swing. A wide wooden footbridge separates the planting bed on the street side from the sandy area. Small recreation areas for the educators and community members have been created on both entrances. Individually designed playground equipment creates an appropriate setting for the Schinkel Church and offers a variety of play experiences for the children of the Protestant kindergarten.

The construction project is the 1st BA of the redesign of a playground from the 1990s. This is located on the south-eastern quarter of the oval plot of Schinkel's Luisenkirche, on Gierkeplatz in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The listed church and its outdoor facilities, framed by tall columnar oaks, form the centre of the square.

The 1st BA provided for a complete redesign of the playground. The wooden palisade edging and all play equipment were removed and replaced with a playscape of oak logs, climbing ropes, various wooden platforms, a playhouse and a nest swing. Sand was used as fall protection. On the church side, the sand area was bordered with oak planks. A wide wooden footbridge separates the planting bed on the street side from the sand area. On both entrances small rest areas for the teachers and parishioners have been created. A new hornbeam hedge spatially separates the church entrance from the play area.

The existing street-side border planting under the columnar oaks was retained and supplemented with flowering shrubs and ground-covering perennials. The existing rose bed at the church was also retained and supplemented with high berry fruit trees in the area of the new seating area.
