historical parallels

A comparable event in the past that could be compared with the upcoming choice of parking in Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg is the foundation of the first parking rate in the Volkspark Friedrichshain in 2016. Similar to Görlitzer Park, the parking members are supposed to represent the interests of the park visitors and give recommendations to the district office. In the past, however, there have been discussions about the effectiveness of the park in Volkspark Friedrichshain and the financing of his projects in the park. It remains to be seen whether the new parking in Görlitzer Park has to deal with similar challenges and how successfully he will represent the interests of the parking people.

background information

The Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg is not only a popular local recreation area for residents and visitors, but also a junction for social and cultural activities in Berlin. Due to its central location and its diverse leisure opportunities, the park attracts people from various population groups. In the past, however, there have also been problems with drug trafficking and crime in the park, which led to discussions about security measures and park management. The choice of parking gives the parking of the park the opportunity to actively participate in the design and improvement of the Görlitz park and to represent their interests. It is expected that the new parking will make an important contribution to the further development of the park.

statistics and data

Current data show that Görlitzer Park is one of the most visited parks in Berlin and plays an important role in the social structure of the Kreuzberg district. According to a survey among the parking people, many of them state that they mainly use the park for leisure activities, relaxation and social meetings. However, the survey also shows that security and cleanliness in the park are considered in need of improvement. The results of this survey could provide the new Parkrat important information in order to better understand the needs of park visitors and take appropriate measures.
