Museum Garden Jewish Museum Berlin

Next to the Libeskind building and the old building, two garden areas were constructed to create an atmosphere in which visitors* should also feel comfortable outside the exhibition rooms.

Kollhof and Ovaska laid out a garden area for the then Berlin Museum in what is now the old building of the Jewish Museum Berlin between 1984 and 1988. The garden, which is well preserved and maintained to this day, shows the museum's visitors an arbor walk, a small plane tree forest, and a circular fountain. In summer the garden offers space for various events and visitors*innen arises the possibility in a quiet minute between ornamental apple trees to spend a break in the already set up deck chairs.

Another garden landscape of the Libeskind building was designed by the landscape designers Müller, Knippschild and Wahberg. Interesting to observe are here the planted rose bushes. These are intended to remind us that in historic Jerusalem the rose was accepted as almost the only cultic plant.

In the nearby Paul Celan Hof, named after the poet of the same name, a floor relief made of natural stone combines with the "typical Berlin backyard."

All these facilities are accessible free of charge to guests of the museum.
