Metal Sculpture by Arnold Schatz
On the one of two accessible platforms stands a prominent metal sculpture by Arnold Schatz, erected in 1967 and which realized a symbol of hope for reunification of divided Germany. Below, there is an exposed piece of the still intact wall of the bunker, which is fitted with handgrips and exploited as a climbing wall.
Park with a varied landscape
Between the detritus hills spread out the extensive lawns, which are informally landscaped according to the tradition of the landscape parks. In the northwestern area of the park, within walking distance of the S-Bahn station Humboldthain, an outdoor swimming pool with restaurant was built. Amateur soccer fields and an area for dogs are located on Gustav-Meyer-Allee. With the help of the rubble heaps, Rieck has not only created a varied park landscape, but also Berlin owes one of the most beautiful masterpiece of garden design of the capital to him: the rose garden.
Rose garden in the Volkspark Humboldthain
At the time of its foundation, around 15.000 roses were counted in the enchanting garden. In addition to the colorful flowerage of countless varieties of roses, the design makes the garden so unique.
