History

Old Nordbahnhof became a freight yard after nearby Stettiner Bahnhof took over passenger services. After the Second World War, the disused freight yard became an industrial park.

  1. 1823Prenzlauer entrepreneur Wilhelm Griebenow bought the land, intending to divide it into parcels and resell them.
  2. 1848About 20,000 workers gathered at the training ground to demand shorter hours, higher holiday wages and compulsory schooling.
  3. 1877–78Old Nordbahnhof opened as the Northern Railway’s southern terminus.
  4. 1892Hertha BSC was founded and used the Einsame Pappel training ground as a playing field for many years.
  5. 1912The city bought the parade ground’s eastern section for a planned play and sports park.
Show all
  1. 1950The freight yard was renamed Berlin Eberswalder Straße.
  2. 1951The Berlin Sportpark and Stadion Einsame Pappel were built to Rudolf Ortner’s plans.
  3. 1961The Berlin Wall turned the site into a guarded strip between its main and rear walls, with a wide sand strip between them. The former station land was divided between the French and Soviet sectors. A viewing platform let West Berlin residents look over the wall into East Berlin.
  4. 1985The freight yard closed, and Ancienne gare du Nord was demolished.
  5. 1988A new main wall was built farther west, leaving three walls standing by the Wall’s fall.
  6. 1990Citizens’ groups began planting the park on the former border strip.
