The carp pond is an artificially created body of water in the Berlin district of Alt-Treptow (Treptow-Köpenick district) with a depth of 70 cm.

The pond is located in Treptower Park south of the Soviet memorial. It was laid out in the course of the park design by the Berlin garden architect Gustav Meyer at the end of the 19th century. He created a playground nearby and used the excavation of the pond for this. This should be fed by the Heidekampgraben, so that Meyer had a dam built in the direction of the moat during the construction work. However, a laid-off worker destroyed it, causing the depression to fill with water and delaying work on the pond. The tenants of the surrounding restaurants used carp and gave the previously nameless water its current name. In 1907 a sculpture made of shell limestone with the designation Meeresgrund by Otto Petri (1860–1942) was set up in a bay.

In the winter of 2009/2010, the majority of the fish living in the pond perished after the water largely froze through. In May 2010 it was therefore decided as part of a stocking measure to put young pike in the pond. At the end of October the stocking was supplemented with tench.

The carp pond is pretty close to the street 'Am Treptower Park' and yet you are here in idyllic nature. A good place for a small city escape.

An artificial lake that has existed since the end of the 19th century and was created by the renowned Berlin landscape architect Gustav Meyer, it is a small piece of relaxation in the heart of Berlin's urban area.

The pond's history is as vivid as its surroundings. Initial difficulties during its construction, such as the unexpected filling of the pond due to a destroyed dam, and the affectionate naming by innkeepers who stocked carp, give the body of water a special character. The pond's image is further enhanced by Otto Petri's sculpture "Seabed," which was placed in one of its bays.

Although it lies directly next to the street "Am Treptower Park," the Carp Pond promises peace and relaxation. Its gently sloping banks offer a picturesque view over the water, and many visitors use this oasis as a brief escape from everyday life.

But like every body of water, the Carp Pond has also faced its challenges. Cold snaps in the winter of 2009/2010 led to the loss of many fish, prompting restocking. Renovation work in 2019 improved the pond's depth. However, the tragic death of a winter swimmer in February 2021 reminds us that even such idyllic places are not without danger. Since April 2021, signs prohibiting swimming and fishing have been posted to alert visitors to the regulations.

Better for walking around than for swimming. In the winter of 2021, a man drowned while ice diving here.
