The name means "large zoo" and alludes to the wild boars and wild game that the Prussian aristocracy hunted1. In 1830, the area was changed to a landscape park created by Peter Joseph Lenné. The Tiergarten was totally destroyed during the Second World War, as it was here that many of the last battles took place. The trees were also felled and used for fuel during the icy winters. For the same reason, it can also be said that all the trees seen in the park have grown up afterwards.
The park is among the largest urban gardens in Germany. Only Tempelhofer Park (formerly Berlin's Tempelhof Airport) and Munich's Englischer Garten are bigger.
The Tiergarten is much more than just a park. It is home to many interesting memorials as well as cultural and political sights. Close to the Brandenburg Gate is the Soviet war memorial and the Global Stone peace project. Furthermore, in the park itself, the art and exhibition center Haus der Kulturen der Welt can be seen attractively on the banks of the river Spree. The office of the Federal President next to Bellevue Palace, the official residence of the President of Germany, is to the west.
 

The Tiergarten is also home to many notable sculptures.:
The statue of Preußenkönigs Friedrich Wilhelm III: This statue is one of the most remarkable monuments in the Tiergarten. It was created by the sculptor Friedrich Drake, who is also known for creating the Roman goddess of victory, Victoria, who stands at the top of the Siegessäule.

Goethe sculpture: Another notable sculpture in the Tiergarten is a statue of the famous German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

In addition, there are many other lesser-known sculptures and monuments scattered throughout the park, all of which contribute to the Tiergarten's unique charm.

Biergartens:

There are also several noteworthy Biergartens in the Tiergarten, where you can enjoy a beer in the open air. Here are some of them:

Biergarten am Kleinen Tiergarten: This is a popular Biergarten located in the smaller park "Kleinen Tiergarten".

Café am Neuen See: This cozy café overlooking the lake is a popular meeting place for hikers and excursions in the summer.

Schleusenkrug: This Biergarten is open all year round and is located in the Tiergarten by the lock.

Birgit & Bier: This is both a Biergarten and an open-air club32. It is open every day from 14.

Jockel Biergarten: This Biergarten is open every day from 09:00 to 22:00.

Remember to check their opening hours as it may vary depending on the weather and season.
