—- have a look at https://gleisdreieck-blog.de in German.
The news is a series of postponements by local Government that obviously runs short of court staff, judges and/or other personnel? Who knows? Berlin is curious!
People are waiting and will be there, the more the better!

Berlin`s communal discourse is situated along green spots at Gleisdreieck Park where German railway stakeholder Deutsche Bahn and Berlin`s civil society face growing concerns, confrontation and dissense on the planned construction of external real estate. The plan looks at up to seven office skyscrapers without a single habitation, see https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/gleisdreieck-hochhaeuser.

Kreuzberg kiez, too, faces emerging construction sites situated near Engelbecken and Ostbahnhof, see https://entwicklungsstadt.de/klotzen-statt-kleckern-wohnungs-neubau-am-engelbecken-in-kreuzberg/

One of Berlin`s green meeting destinations hence debates the future of Gleisdreieck Park with growing dissense by the minute, as the vision appears dark due to planned office buildíngs that no one needs or wants. Public awareness of the local community is hence persisting against repeated restrictive injunction claims, see below in German: https://gleisdreieck-blog.de/2025/09/11/unterlassungsklagen-finanzielle-engpaesse-und-die-abstimmung-zur-urbanen-mitte-im-abgeordnetenhaus/comment-page-1/#comment-21528 The forthcoming local Advisory Board elections are fixed for September 24, 2025.

For orientation, you can easily walk from Potsdamer Platz to Gleisdreieck Park in less than ten minutes: this fillet piece is actively used by pedestrians as much as by local communities that are fully aware of the risks of speculation. People continue to show their well-addressed objections against any high-rise buildings in the middle of their green axis.

Excerpt here: The investors’ plan calls for 70% office and 30% commercial space. Does Berlin really need more office space? Or more shopping malls? Gleisdreieck Park was a success with the public from the beginning, before the appearance of any commercial spaces at the park’s borders. Even more commercial space is a complete waste. What Berlin needs is affordable living space.`
