Preußenpark

Preußenpark, also known as Thai Park, is a public park in the Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. At 55,000 m², it is one of the smallest parks in the city. The park contains several sculptures, including Antilope, created by Artur Hoffmann in 1926, and Borussia, a five-metre-high sculpture originally by Reinhold Begas (1855). Since the 1990s, the park has been known as a gathering point for the Thai and East Asian community, which organises markets and festivities during the summer months. In particular, the meadow known as 'Thaiwiese' grew into a street food market that extends beyond the district and appears in travel guides. The market, which grew informally out of family gatherings, has been the subject of political debate and was banned in 2021, although since July 2021 the Thai Association of Berlin has run an officially permitted temporary market on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 8pm, until 31 October. It reopened on 2 April 2022, with a celebration of the Songkran festival on 16 April.
