Site description
The location of Skulpturenpark_berlin Zentrum is adjacent to the Federal Mint and not far from the Axel Springer Building. The Fischerinsel which marks the border of Mitte and Kreuzberg is just up the street. Today, the land is used for little more than as a dumping ground, free parking, dog walk, and a sapce for cookouts. Presumably, it is in holding for speculative real estate. The land is divided into 62 lots which are owned by an assortment of private individuals and companies.
Notably, the site gives the impression of an area surrounded on all sides by 6-8 story buildings. Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum provides an urban stage where the buildings'inhabitants are daily attendance.
