Babelsberg Palace Park Restoration of the listed, scenic waters

Babelsberg Palace Park is part of the Potsdam cultural landscape in Berlin. Its history begins in 1833 with the first design by Lenné. In 1843, Prince von Pückler-Muskau took over the continuation and horticultural planning of the park. For the entire park and the extensions acquired later, there is an extensive water system fed by an underground canal system. The task of our office was to reconstruct the water features, some of which had become heavily overgrown and over-marked, and to restore them in accordance with the principles of garden conservation. One focus was on communicating and reaching a consensus on the interests of monument protection and nature conservation, taking into account the latest knowledge on technical implementation. The objects that have already been completed are the Black Sea, the Wilhelm Waterfall and the waterfall at the Gothic Fountain.
