The Britzer Garten is one of Berlin's most beautiful parks, a landscaped garden in the south of the city created for a garden show in the 1980s. Across its wide lawns, lakes and themed plantings, the Britzer Garten offers a calm day out well away from the busy centre. This tag collects Berlin locations around this green corner of Neukoelln.
Seasonal highlights include vast tulip displays in spring, a summer of roses and blazing autumn colour, along with a small railway that loops the grounds. Playgrounds, a working windmill and cafe terraces make it a favourite with families. An entry fee applies, which helps keep the park quiet and well tended year round.

Every year, the Britzer Garten in Neukölln ushers in the Easter holidays with one of Berlin's most beautiful Easter bonfires. At Rodelberg, fire acrobatics, live music, and a family atmosphere combine to create an atmospheric start to the season in the green.
The Seestar of Britz is located in the Britzer Garten and serves breakfast on slightly elevated terraces directly over the lake. The building itself is an earth-mound structure by architect Engelbert Kremser, completed in 1985 for the Federal Garden Show. For breakfast in the green, this means: first through the park, then scrambled eggs with a view of the water.
The water playground of Britzer Garten is a small landscaped area with rocks, a murmuring stream and flood gates.
The Britzer Mill, located at the edge of Britzer Garten, is a Dutch windmill from 1865 and is the only Berlin mill that still grinds flour using wind power. Civil weddings can no longer be held here, but there is the 'Vermehlung' (milling ceremony) performed by the miller. As a wedding venue in Berlin, this is the most unusual ceremony after the civil registry office.
Spanning 90 hectares in southern Neukölln, Britzer Garten offers everything you'd leave Berlin for on a beautiful day, without actually leaving the city: blooming theme gardens, an artificially created lake, expansive sunbathing lawns, and a lively event program that carries through the entire summer.

Since 1865, one of Berlin's last two working windmills has been turning on Buckower Damm. Next to it stands the reconstructed miller's house with a restaurant and a beer garden for 400 people. If you prefer a down-to-earth marriage proposal over a high-gloss one, you'll hardly find a more suitable place in Neukölln.
The 'An der Alten Försterei' stadium in Köpenick has been home to 1. FC Union Berlin since 1920 and accommodates 22,012 spectators, most of whom are standing.

As a wedding venue in Berlin, this is the address for couples for whom this club means something special.
