Green oasis in the Kosmosviertel: 26 new trees and playground redesign!
On October 25, 2025, an important urban development project was started in the Kosmosviertel in Treptow-Köpenick. As part of this, 26 new trees were planted, mainly hornbeams and Japanese cord trees. In addition to the trees, areas of shrubs and perennials as well as newly created lawns will be created. The paths in the area are also being upgraded with paving and a water-bound path surface. These measures are part of the extensive redesign of the district, which has been under district management since 2016.
The district councilor Dr. Claudia Leistner emphasizes the importance of creating a lively place for meetings and togetherness. The active involvement of residents in the design process reflects the desire to increase the quality of life in the district. A central element of this project is the planned redesign of the “large playground”, including a water play area, the completion of which is targeted for the second half of 2026.
Funding through urban development funding
The redesign of the Kosmosviertel is supported by federal and state urban development funding. This initiative aims to create public green spaces that serve both climate protection and climate adaptation. According to staedtebaufoerderung.info, such areas promote biodiversity Infiltration opportunities and help prevent the creation of urban heat islands.
In addition, the green corridor in the Kosmosviertel was nominated for the renowned Federal Urban Green Prize 2024, which underlines the importance of the project to the public. The creation of multifunctional usage concepts not only improves the quality of stay, but also offers numerous leisure opportunities for citizens.
Recent trends in urban greening
The developments in the Kosmosviertel are in line with general trends in urban greening. The networking of urban green spaces through various structures such as streets, canals and bridges is seen as increasingly important. These infrastructures can also support socio-cultural and climatic functions as well as ecosystem services, as gruen-in-der-stadt.de points out.
Greening building facades and roofs helps to mitigate the effects of climate change and can help reduce heat, heavy rain and fine dust pollution in urban areas. These aspects are what make the new project in the Kosmosviertel sustainable and offer its residents a better quality of life.
