Berlin Kreuzberg Viktoriapark (#2156)

Viktoriaprak and liberation monument, in the Kreuzberg neighborhood. The liberation monument (discussed in later pictures) was dedicated in 1821, long before the park opened in 1894. The park provides an enjoyable green space in the city and interesting views from the top.

Though much of Berlin looks quite flat, the hill is natural and was once part of a wine-growing area. The waterfall is man made and operates in the summer. It started operation when the park opened in 1894, though there were long periods from WWI all the way into the Cold War when it did not operate.
