    Fragments that rest between 3 fountains inside the large pond of the Park. They are 3 "L" shaped pieces, almost five meters high and 1.20 meters wide. In the shade of a large tree, in the northern part of the pond, there is a commemorative plaque that reads: “In memory of the demolition of the Berlin Wall. Part of it stays here. Madrid, November 9, 1990.” Despite the passage of time, the original Berlin graffiti can still be seen.

    Remains of the Berlin Wall This corner of Germany is in the district of Chamartín and houses remains of the wall that for years divided Germany into two. On November 9, 1989. The city of Berlin and all of Europe experienced a historical milestone that was broadcast live on television around the world. The wall that had divided the two Germanys for almost three decades finally falls and ends years of separation of the German people. A park in our city remembers this anniversary. Today we tell you some interesting things about the Berlin park. Fragments of that concrete structure, 120 kilometers long and three meters high, are scattered across more than 50 countries. Pieces that commemorate their fall or symbolize the solidarity of the cities with the country. What maybe you didn't know is that in Spain you can also see some of these remains. The Isla de la Cartuja in Seville, Redondela in Pontevedra or Torrejón de Ardoz, in Madrid, are some of these places and also our protagonist today: the Berlin Park in the Chamartín district in the capital. The demands of Berliners, social pressure and the new political context managed to tear down the wall on the night of November 9 to 10, 1989. And a year later the reunification of Germany became official. The origin of the park In 1966, the mayor of Berlin, Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm, better known as Willy Brandt, announced a visit to Madrid. For this reason, the municipal authorities decided to create a park in honor of the city and this is how this green area of ​​the capital was created, just 200 meters from the German school. Finally, the first mayor did not attend the inauguration and his country's ambassador to Spain did in his place. The lower area of ​​this green lung is dedicated to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The remains were transferred to Spain in November 1990. Three fragments with original graffiti that were on the verge of disappearing at the hands of a municipal employee eager to remove the graffiti before the park's inauguration, thinking it was a hooliganism.

    Remains belonging to the Berlin Wall, a concrete barrier built in 1961 in the German city of Berlin to separate the Federal Republic of Germany from the German Democratic Republic, until its demolition in 1989. The preserved remains were transferred to Spain in 1990. The set is made up of three fragments that preserve the original graffiti made on the wall in its original location.

    Very interesting to be able to see "three authentic pieces of the Berlin Wall" in Madrid. They can be seen in the Park of the same name in Madrid. ChamartĂ­n District. Berlin and Madrid are twinned and that is why, very generously, the city of Berlin gave them to us. We can also find the statue of a bear, as a symbol of the German city (and curiously of Madrid) and several other sculptures. The Park is small but very pleasant with a large number of trees and plants. There is a stage and play area for children.

    (Translated by Google) It is an important part of the 20th century in Europe. After World War II, Germany was divided into three parts: the Russians, the French and the Americans. In the Treaty of Potsdam 1945. In the Russian zone a wall was erected so that they will not pass from this zone to the democratic sections. In such a way that everyone who tried was shot by the police and the army. When at the end of the 20th century the wall fell and Germany was unified, that piece was brought to Spain, recalling the horror suffered by the Germans in the Russian zone. (Original) Es una parte importante del siglo XX en Europa. Después de la II Guerra Mundial se repartieron Alemania en tres partes: los rusos, los franceses y los americanos. En el Tratado de Postdam 1945. En la zona rusa se levantó un muro para que no pasarán de esta zona a las secciones democráticas. De tal manera que todo el que lo intentaba era tiroteado por la propia policía y el ejército. Cuando a finales del siglo veinte cae el muro y se unifica Alemania, es traído a España ese trozo recordando el horror que sufrieron los Alemanes de la zona rusa.

    Local Park w/ playground for kids and a some restaurants (close to Principe de Vergara and Ramon y Cajal). It's quite nice to walk along w/ your kids or pets. During summer time it can be a bit a dusty and beware of walking/sitting or lying down on the grass - people don't curb their dogs and for sure you will find yourself smeared in dog poop!!! Sometimes they have an improvised puppet show on weekends for kids (very nice). There are local fairs held and during summertime there is an outdoor cinema.

    (Translated by Google) After the demolition of the Berlin Wall, several cities around the world received as a souvenir and tribute some fragments with which to remember what is known as the Wall of Shame. These three fragments that are exposed in the middle of the pond were received by the city of Madrid, and are shown as they were at the time, with the graffiti and marks of the citizens of Berlin who thus expressed their indignation at the wall. (Original) Tras el derribo del muro de BerlĂ­n, varias ciudades del mundo recibieron como recuerdo y homenaje algunos fragmentos con los que recordar el conocido como muro de la vergĂĽenza. Estos tres fragmentos que se exponen en medio del estanque fueron recibidos por la ciudad de Madrid, y se muestran tal cual estaban en su momento, con las pintadas y las marcas de los ciudadanos de BerlĂ­n que de esa forma manifestaban su indignaciĂłn por el muro.

    Nice park, lots of seating, greenery and shade. There are good bins with holders with dog poo bags for those who forgot. Important monument, reminding us to never forget the Berlin Wall and its purpose. Adjacent to the park are a couple of different eateries, keep in mind that they may be closed for siesta.

    The most elegant park of the district with an excelent range of trees including German pines. This was the pre-war German quarters of Madrid with a German school.
