Reasons to go

  • The flea market on the square was founded in 1998 and still draws many of Berlin's flea-market regulars every week.
  • A general weekly market has run on the square since the early 20th century, when it took its name from the nearby Vorwerk Boxhagen estate.
  • The square sits in the heart of Friedrichshain's student quarter around Simon-Dach-Strasse, where market-goers spread out on the grass to watch impromptu street performers.

beautiful park with lots of tree shade. I recommend coming during the Saturday food market - but make sure to bring cash!
