Here is some information about the creation of the park:
In 1856 the founder of the Berliner Börsen-Zeitung, Hermann Killisch-Horn, acquired the area of today's Bürgerpark on the Panke, a former paper mill from 1800, in order to set up a country estate for himself and his family. In the years 1863–1864, he enlarged the area to 10 hectares by purchasing it and, together with Wilhelm Perring (1838–1907), who later became the garden inspector and technical director of the Berlin Botanical Garden, created a landscape garden based on the English model.
The building of the old paper mill, which once employed up to sixty workers, was converted into a mansion, residential, commercial and jewelry buildings were built, palm houses, bridges and an Indian temple. The entrance was formed by the three-part entrance portal in the neo-renaissance style, which still exists today and was built around 1865 on the model of Italian triumphal arches and completely restored in 2007.
