    Hiking

    The Rathenau fountain stands at the highest point of the Volkspark. The original monument by Georg Kolbe for the brothers Emil and Walther Rathenau was erected in the Volkspark in 1930 after a long planning phase, after Reich Foreign Minister Walter Rathenau was murdered by right-wing radicals in 1922.

    In 1934, the Nazis had the monument to the Jewish brothers removed, and it was not until 1987 that the Rathenau fountain was restored and inaugurated by sculptor Harald Haacke.
