More than a park
With the new Spreepark, the capital is regaining a green open space for all citizens that harmoniously combines art, culture and nature with the unique history of the area. Relics from the amusement park era, such as the Ferris wheel, are being artistically reinterpreted with a special focus on sustainability and thus revitalised for new uses. We have been implementing this concept step by step since 2020. The area around the Eierhäuschen has been open to visitors again since 2023.
Construction work Eierhäuschen Ferris wheel
The Mero-Halle was built in 1969 using the innovative MERO steel tube system and, after reinforcing the supports and applying a bright blue anti-corrosion coating, has already been used temporarily as an art and cultural venue.
The impression of the former English Village will be taken up again in the new Spreepark with a new building that reflects the historical existing structure.
Following completion of the refurbishment, the dome of Cinema 2000 will be rebuilt in the future Spreepark at the West Entrance. Once re-roofed, it will serve as an exhibition and event venue for art and culture.
After completion of the new Spreepark, the renovated and transformed Ferris wheel will once again take its rightful place as a main attraction in the centre of the park - with a spectacular diagonal suspension and sustainable water basin.
After extensive refurbishment in line with the preservation order, the Eierhäuschen was opened as the first milestone of the new Spreepark and invites visitors with exhibition and residence rooms, catering with a summer garden and its own jetty.
The connection to water transport is a key component of the sustainable mobility concept for the Spreepark and the Eierhäuschen. Once completed in 2023, the jetty will offer visitors a completely new way of travelling to the park.
A hall for events, presentations and exhibitions is currently being built next to a new entrance area in the future Spreepark where the swans on the white water ride used to be serviced.

SUSTAINABILITY
Spreepark Ahoy!
The Spreepark will be accessible to everyone without a car in the future. The sustainable transport concept therefore also includes new ideas for mobility, such as the public jetty at the new main entrance.
