Country house garden of Dr. Max Fränkel
Garden along the River Havel
Why the garden architect Erwin Barth is referred to as the “Lenné of the 20th century” can be seen in Kladow. In 1925–1933, Barth designed a garden paradise for Dr. Max Fränkel. This is now open to the public.
Situated between the Kladow ferry pier and the Sacrow Palace Gardens, visitors can stroll amongst the roses or through the meadows, explore the copses, walk along the River Havel and enjoy the view of Peacock Island. In addition, streams, ponds, a kitchen garden and a tea house invite you to linger. Incidentally, the cycle and walking path from Alt-Kladow to Sacrow runs right past the garden gate.
Take a break and savour this special spot in Berlin.
In the park, from April to the end of October, the sunny terrace of the summer café invites you to enjoy coffee and cake, or even quiche with salad and other savoury treats. Meat is deliberately excluded from the menu. It is open from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays from 10 am to 6 pm.
You can reach the Landhausgarten via the Berlin Wall Trail (Berliner Mauerradweg) and the Havel River Hiking Trail, which is also linked to the Europaradweg cycle route. From the water, visitors can even moor right next to the grounds. Motorboat tourists can take a leisurely cruise from the public harbour at Imchenplatz to Dr Fraenkel’s.
