Der Plänterwald in Treptow ist der ehemalige Spreepark Berlins, der 1969 als Kulturpark eröffnet und nach der Wende in Spreepark umbenannt wurde. Der Vergnügungspark war einst sehr beliebt und hatte viele Besucher, aber seit der Wende ging die Zahl der Besucher stark zurück. Dies lag zum Teil daran, dass es wenig Parkmöglichkeiten gab und die Anreise mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln umständlich war. Außerdem wurden andere Vergnügungsparks in Westdeutschland attraktiver, da das Reisen einfacher wurde. Der Park wurde schließlich von einer westdeutschen Schaustellerfamilie übernommen und nach einer Insolvenz geschlossen. Heute gibt es geführte Touren durch den ehemaligen Spreepark, bei denen Besucher das …

The Plänterwald in Treptow is the former Spreepark of Berlin, which was opened as a cultural park in 1969 and renamed Spreepark after the turn. The amusement park was once very popular and had many visitors, but the number of visitors has decreased sharply since the turn. This was partly due to the fact that there was little parking and the journey by public transport was cumbersome. In addition, other amusement parks in West Germany became more attractive because travel became easier. The park was finally taken over by a West German showman family and closed after bankruptcy.

Today there are guided tours through the former Spreepark, where visitors can explore the abandoned site. Participation costs five euros per person and the tickets can only be booked online. The park is to be officially reopened as a natural, art and cultural park in two years. The ferris wheel, which has been dismantled for two years, is to be restored and turning again. However, admission will cost and many areas of the park will remain closed. The white water railway has already become a unspoilt biotope and is not made accessible again.

The Spreepark is an interesting place for lovers of Lost Places and offers a unique backdrop. However, the park also has to deal with many problems, such as vandalism and decay of the attractions. Nevertheless, the restoration of the park is a big step towards reviving this historical place.
