New paths for Lichterfelde South: Stangenpfuhl is being upgraded!
The upgrading of the Stangenpfuhl and the Stangengraben in Lichterfelde Süd began on September 8, 2025. This construction project is being carried out by the Parks Department and aims to revitalize this currently neglected area. According to the information from berlin.de A regularly used trail is maintained on the edge of the property above the rain retention basin. In the future, the route will be around three meters wide and will have a small increase in space.
The future route takes into account the existing trees and will be pivoted several times. Particular attention is paid to the gentle treatment of the soil and root area. Root bridges and a planned elevation of the path are intended to preserve the majority of the existing structure. The fencing around the water will not only be maintained, but also repaired. Maintenance work on the walls and railings of the puddle's outlet structures is also being planned.
New accommodation options

This area will be equipped with sturdy seating and a graffiti wall to provide residents with additional lounging options.
