Construction & Development

Construction Measures at the Spreepark

The main construction work for the new Spreepark is in full swing. The central areas will be realised by 2026.

As the first milestone of the new Spreepark, the Eierhäuschen was reopened at the end of 2023 after extensive refurbishment in keeping with its listed status. As a catering and art location, the historic building houses a restaurant with a summer garden as well as exhibition and residency spaces for artists in the Spreepark Art Space. As part of the innovative mobility concept for the Spreepark, the area can be reached via the jetty, which will be completed in 2023.

The English Village has already been dismantled and is being rebuilt as an innovative event location in a timber construction that is as unusual as it is sustainable. The famous cup carousel has also been dismantled and stored - at the former main entrance to the Spreepark, the colourful cups will become a style-defining element of the future meadow landscape. The former factory building was already partially dismantled in 2020 and is currently being renovated. In future, it will serve as the new main entrance and event hall. In summer 2024, work will begin on the new water basin, where the spectacular supporting structure of the Ferris wheel will then be realised. With the dismantling of the Ferris wheel already completed for the refurbishment and transformation by 2026, the landmark of the Spreepark has also been successfully secured.

Since taking over the Spreepark in 2016, Grün Berlin has already implemented a large number of individual measures in and around the Spreepark. These range from the necessary remediation of contaminated sites to media development work such as the laying of gas, electricity, drinking water and telecommunications lines as well as the construction and renewal of pathways such as the Pioneer Path or the waterway for pedestrians and cyclists to the successfully completed refurbishment of relics from the old Spreepark days such as the Mero-Halle.

Ferris wheel removed for renovation

Several heavy goods vehicles were needed to transport the 313 remaining components of the historic Ferris wheel to a suitable factory in Poland for refurbishment, where they will be expertly refurbished and later connected to the necessary new components so that the Ferris wheel can spin again in Spreepark in 2026.

Dismantling of the cup carousel

The yellow and colourful cup carousel used to be the first eye-catcher at the main entrance to the Spreepark. The colourful cups have now been dismantled and stored safely. The foundations will now be drained and then dismantled so that the area can then be filled in and integrated into the future meadow landscape at the former main entrance. The cup carousel will be given a new location in an easily accessible place in the park.

Media access

As part of the media development work, underground pipes are currently being laid along the factory building, into which rainwater from the roof areas can later be channelled.

Renovation of the Eierhäuschen almost completed

After around four years, the refurbishment of the popular "Eierhäuschen" restaurant in the Spreepark, which is over 100 years old, is largely complete. Preparations for operation are now underway inside. The complete ensemble with restaurant, beer garden and exhibition rooms will open in spring 2024.

Time-lapse video of the construction work at the jetty

Following the opening of the "Eierhäuschen" beer garden, another milestone has been reached for visitors and guests to Berlin with the successful construction of the pier at the Spreepark. Covering an area of 120 square metres, the landing stage is located along the banks of the Spree directly at the eastern main entrance to the Eierhäuschen and future Spreepark. The barrier-free construction, weighing almost 190 tonnes, is based on a robust steel supporting structure. The additionally installed steel sheet pile wall serves to separate the shallow water zone from the deep water area and was made entirely from recycled steel.

Our time-lapse video shows the work on the jetty from start to finish.

Trial operation starts at the jetty

Construction work on the jetty at Spreepark has been successfully completed. Shipping companies that would like to include the new jetty in their timetable can now register on the Spreepark website at www.spreepark.berlin/en/planning-construction/jetty and book berthing options independently in future after successful registration. The first passenger ships are expected to be able to call at the new jetty from 1 August 2023. In the medium term, passenger ships from various shipping companies will be able to call at the jetty regularly to enable visitors to the Spreepark and the Eierhäusch to arrive and depart in a convenient and plannable manner. The landing stage can only be used for passenger shipping, i.e. the transport of passengers. The new landing stage is not available for private shipping. The pier is managed by Grün Berlin on behalf of the state of Berlin.
