The memorial, established in 1970, is dedicated to the victims of both World Wars, specifically those from the local 'Freie Scholle' building cooperative. Its inscription, "DEN OPFERN / BEIDER / WELTKRIEGE / ZUM / GEDENKEN / GEMEINNÜTZIGE / BAUGENOSSENSCHAFT / 'FREIE SCHOLLE' / ZU BERLIN E. G.", highlights its community-based origin. It serves as a poignant reminder of the personal cost of conflict within a specific residential area, offering a more intimate perspective than larger national monuments.
Yes, the memorial is a great starting point for outdoor activities. Two hiking trails lead directly from Marie-Schlei-Platz into the scenic Tegeler Fliess river valley. Hikers can explore the landscape, including a wooden pedestrian bridge (Egidysteg) that crosses the swampy river towards Mühlenfeldstraße in Hermsdorf, offering ample space for exercise in fresh air.
The memorial is easily accessible by public transport. While the intro mentions bus connections to Alt-Tegel's underground, visitors can typically reach the area via local bus lines. It's advisable to check current Berlin public transport schedules for the most direct route to Marie-Schlei-Platz in Tegel.

While the memorial can be visited at any time, for a quieter, more reflective experience, consider visiting during the off-peak seasons like late autumn or early spring. Weekday mornings are generally less crowded than weekends. The surrounding natural areas like Tegeler Fliess are beautiful year-round, but spring and summer offer lush greenery, while autumn brings colorful foliage.
While Marie-Schlei-Platz itself is surrounded by residential homes, the nearby area of Alt-Tegel, which is quickly reachable by bus, offers various amenities including cafes and restaurants. Visitors can find dining options and shopping in the Gorkistraße area.
Yes, the memorial is family-friendly. It offers a quiet space for reflection, and the surrounding Tegeler Fliess and Steinberg Park provide plenty of space for children to move around and enjoy the outdoors. It can be an opportunity to discuss history in a gentle, local context.
The memorial itself is an open public space, so dogs on a leash are generally permitted. The surrounding natural areas like Tegeler Fliess and Steinberg Park are popular for dog walking, offering ample space for pets to enjoy the outdoors alongside their owners. Always ensure dogs are kept under control and any waste is properly disposed of.
A visit to the memorial itself is typically brief, allowing for a moment of quiet contemplation, perhaps 10-20 minutes. However, many visitors combine their visit with exploring the surrounding Tegeler Fliess landscape and walking paths, which can extend the experience to an hour or more, depending on the chosen route.
While the Marie-Schlei-Platz War Memorial is a unique community-initiated site, the broader Berlin area is rich with historical memorials. For those interested in other significant sites, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe or the Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten are notable, though not in the immediate vicinity of Marie-Schlei-Platz. The memorial's significance lies in its local, community-focused remembrance.
The square, formerly known as Egidyplatz, was renamed Marie-Schlei-Platz in 2012. It is named after Marie Schlei, an SPD politician born Marie Stabenow in 1919, who passed away in Berlin in 1983. This renaming honors her legacy and connects the memorial's location to a figure of local political importance.
