This area at Gleis­dreieck is loca­ted in the Berlin dis­tricts of Kreuz­berg and Schö­ne­berg. In the past, it was the site of the Anhal­ter und Pots­da­mer Güter­bahn­hof (Goods Sta­tion) while later on the area, which covers an area of 31.5 ha, was left barren. In 2008 a com­pe­ti­tion was announ­ced by the Berlin Senate Admi­ni­stra­tion for Urban Devel­op­ment for rede­s­ig­ning the area. This was won by the lands­cape archi­tects Ate­lier Loidl. Bet­ween 2011 and 2014, the Ost­park, West­park and the Fla­schen­hals­park were opened in turn. The result was a green space and recre­a­ti­o­nal site with exten­sive gras­sed areas, iso­la­ted groups of trees and seve­ral woods.

Sports and games areas, relics depic­ting the his­tory of the site and wide, bar­rier-free asp­hal­ted paths for cyclists and ska­ters have made the park a popu­lar des­ti­na­tion for day-trip­pers. The ligh­ting con­cept for the indi­vi­dual park areas has been rea­li­sed using Selux Olivio lumi­nai­res. Olivio Can­de­la­bra with bent poles and Olivio Flora­ci­ons in various heights, with 3 to 7 heads, emp­ha­sise the park’s urban nature.

  • The organic design of Olivio and its functional versatility due to the modular design of this luminaire family is inspired by role models from nature. As a result Olivio forms the basis for light concepts in urban living areas where the focus is on the well-being of people. Olivio luminaire heads are available in the sizes Grande, Medio and Piccolo and can be combined with various arms and pole types from the three design lines Sistema, Floracion and Candelabra. Yet it is not just the design that can be adapted individually according to the situation – various optics and light colours from 2,700 to 4,000 Kelvin also cater for challenging lighting tasks efficiently and without glare: from illumination of paths and squares, floodlighting of façades and accent lighting of buildings. The new Olivio Cap also reduces light scatter and for special requirements, with its camera and loudspeaker modules, Olivio can be integrated into smart application scene. The special wooden-pole aesthetic emphasizes the Olivio's high quality, organic luminaire design. Combined with luminaire heads in a harmonoius colour tone such as bronze, this results in a timelessly comforting spatial ambience.
