The Volkspark Jungfernheide offers a variety of sports and recreational opportunities. With its numerous lawns, the sports and playgrounds, the bathing pond and many other leisure facilities, the Jungfernheide serves the recreation of the citizens and is used for numerous excursions and cultural undertakings.

In this sense, it was also designed and planned in 1920 - 1926 according to the plans of Erwin Barth. The former forest and heath area, located east of Spandau, received its name after the "maidens" of the Spandau nunnery, founded in 1239.

Barth's design concept provided for only minor interventions in the dense forest stand (pines, oaks and beeches). The park is accessed via an approximately four km long circular path, from which numerous straight paths run at regular intervals to the core areas of the park with its large sunbathing lawns. The visual focal point is a 38 m high water tower.

Due to the war, airfield and urban motorway construction, the current garden monument was severely affected. In the mid-1980s, numerous reconstruction measures were carried out on the park facilities and various structures. This gave the Volkspark Jungfernheide its current appearance.
