Meadow park at the Wuhle A park on the outskirts of Berlin

The Wuhlepark was realised by gruppe F as part of the Landsberger Tor urban development project in Berlin-Marzahn.
Special play, sports and recreation areas were integrated into the wide meadow areas. For children and young people, among other things, the climbing whale was created.
In the immediate vicinity of the youth centre "Anna Landsberger", a play and sports forum for young people was created. One focus was the special consideration of the interests of adolescent girls. Group F conducted two workshops with the Marzahn Girls' Centre. The results were the basis for the spatial layout of the play and sports forum.
The edge of the slope between the residential area and the park was emphasized with balconies and generous access areas. The rainwater retention basin was incorporated into the design and can be experienced by visitors as a water area.

Not a classic park, not simply a meadow. In 1997, the design was awarded 1st prize in the international landscape planning realization competition "Wuhlepark Landsberger Tor". The aim is to design the edge of the city by developing strong landscape structures that consciously stage the hermaphroditic state of the no longer rural but not yet urban space as an urban edge situation. In its generous expanse, the new park forms an exciting mixture of near-natural landscape, artificial intercalations and urban elements. The wide meadow space is characterised by individual groups of trees, sparse pathways and the "loci spectabile", special places that invite the visitor to appropriate the space. Quiet meadow areas with unpretentious vegetative spatial formation - points of attraction for cross-generational recreation on the outskirts of the city. Special places (LOCI) as an attraction. The play with space and view, the power of the contrast of strict and flowing are elements of the park. Play is encouraged! Playgrounds for children and young people, especially for girls were created.

400 meters of wave
After winning the international competition for the "Wuhlepark", the "Stadtgarten" represented the first phase of construction. The elongated city garden is characterized by the striking, wave-shaped ground modeling. The special places to stay are stamped into the waves of grass. The vegetation marks the qualities of the places, groups of shrubs dancing with the waves, cuboids of trees at urban places, groves as landscape quotations. The concrete wall is a clear boundary and thus marks the lawn wave as a ground sculpture. Swivel chair, bench and wastepaper basket as furniture specially developed for this project characterize the central square.

Jury verdict: Although the authors use familiar design elements in their design, they succeed in creating a high-quality park in a situation that has been neglected in terms of urban development. In collaboration with residents, a site was created that opens up meeting spaces and new communication opportunities for people through the targeted use of landscape architectural objects.
In the process, the course of the Wuhle was integrated in a formative way.

The result is a quotation of large-scale urban landscapes in a prefabricated housing estate that is close to the city.
