Heinrich von Kleist Park Restoration of the entrance area of the Königskolonnaden in the context of the preservation of historical gardens

The Heinrich von Kleist Park was redesigned in 1945 by Georg Bela Pniower on behalf of the Allied Control Council. On a remnant of the former Royal Botanical Garden, after its relocation to Dahlem from 1910 onwards, a symmetrically aligned park had been designed by the City Garden Director at the time, Albert Brodersen. Back then, the park was extended between the neo-baroque building of the superior Court of Justice (Kammergerichtsgebäude, 1909-1913) in the West and the Königskolonnaden were translocated to Potsdamer Straße in 1910-11.
G- B. Pniower, who was banned from his profession during the National Socialist era, was to transform the war-ravaged park into a "distinguished foreground" for the seat of the Control Council in the former Kammergericht building.
In connection with the restoration of the Königskolonnaden (2004-2006), TOPOS was commissioned with a garden monument preservation analysis and the restoration of the entrance area at the Königskolonnaden (2007-2008) by the administrative entity of Nature and Green Spaces of Berlin's district Tempelhof-Schöneberg.
