Photography at the Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände

The perfect location for an autumnal photo shoot in the heart of Berlin is the natural reserve Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände, as an mysteriously overgrown area with train relics.


The area used to be the Tempelhof switching yard and fuses now industrial culture, wild nature and contemporate art into unique photographic compositions. The last train left the switching yard in 1952 and young birch trees grow now between the old train rails. The huge engine shed serves now as stage for unusual theatre performances.

Ever since the Expo 2000, this former industrial waste land of 18 hectares has been serving as a public natural reserve. Only 4 (!) S-Bahn stations away is Potsdamer Platz - you may not notice it but you are in the heart of the city - the last place where you would expect to find rare and threatened species of plants. At the smae time the reserve is at the same time a place for you to recharge your batteries in the green.
