Redesignation of Adenauerplatz's grand finale set for September 20th.
In the heart of Berlin's Charlottenburg district, the public square known as Adenauerplatz is preparing for a grand opening on September 20. The city library is organizing a book sale to mark the occasion, while residents of Kaiserstraße are planning a long coffee table for the same day.
The square, currently under construction, has seen significant changes. Trees are protected by wooden boards, benches covered, and a new path has been created in the upper area, providing barrier-free access to a "reading garden" with a small stone pedestal and circular benches. However, the lower part of the Adenauerplatz still contains excavators and construction equipment, as work continues on the seating wall, outer facade for gastronomy (Café Kontor), and a stepped staircase.
The opening festivities on September 20 will also feature sports offers, concerts, and small concerts in the "reading garden", as per statements by Stefan Sturm from the neighbourhood management. The Gründerzeitviertel initiative is setting up a surf simulator for the event.
Efforts are being made to prevent the new Adenauerplatz from being disfigured due to the opening festivities. Despite the ongoing construction, no specific details about the cost of these additional events have been made public.
The Adenauerplatz renovation project was completed in under nine months and cost approximately 1.6 million euros, which is cheaper than the funding application of 1.8 million euros. The square now boasts large green areas, over 20 new trees and shrubs, and many thousands of perennials and grasses.
For those seeking precise and up-to-date details about the Adenauerplatz renovation, official City of Berlin or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district websites, local news, or announcements directly related to urban development and public space improvements in that area are recommended.
Despite the ongoing construction, the opening festivities for the renovated Adenauerplatz on September 20 will showcase not only a book sale and coffee table event but also sports offers, concerts, and small concerts in the "reading garden". Furthermore, the Gründerzeitviertel initiative plans to set up a surf simulator as part of the celebrations, bringing elements of sports and lifestyle to the home-and-garden environment of the square.
