Gorlitzer Park, Kreuzberg, Summer 2009

A most amazing garden design disaster.

I love it. Right in the heart of Gorlitzer park, in fact the restaurant overlooks it.

People sit on it's steps and gaze out into this barricaded ruin. The barricades add to it's sense of dissaster and potential threat. It becomes a complete dead-zone. I have heard the project is still in litigation.

Intended as a water-garden of terraces and cascades, the wrong stone was selected and the decay of the stone began with the first frosts, it was never completed.

This is another Berlin work to be pursued.
I am hoping a local collaborator will shed more light on this. I have both video and still documentation. What the work may be is still to be resolved. I would consider intervening in the site itself.

Gorlitzer park abounds with Kreuzvbergian oddities.
