The tour leads along the southern slope of Babelsberg from the gatehouse II to the construction site of the new Babelsberg municipal swimming pool. The curator of garden monuments, Katrin Schröder, reports on site about the lesser-known history of this part of the park. Participants will learn about the effort it took to transform the dry plain area of the park into a park with shrubs, meadows, paths and stone settings, what happened to the park's tree nursery, why the Great Lake is dry but the Kindermannsee has water. We will talk about grass paths and a lost bark house as well as how Babelsberg citizens campaigned for the park in the post-war period.

Duration of the tour: 1.5 hours.

As part of the Babelsberg Bohemian Days
