Are there any spots in/around berlin to watch perseid meteor shower?

Question

Hi, wanted to check in this group if there are dark areas they have seen perseid shower in berlin in the past ? It doesn't have to be perfect (like campsite) but something visible enough as it looks like its clear skies for next 2 nights.

the best spot i know is teufelsberg, the hill in grunewald. it's not pitch black but way darker than the city center, and the elevation helps. if you go up to the radar dome area (the paid part closes at night but the path around it is public) you get a solid view of the sky without too much light pollution. just bring a blanket and maybe a coffee from the späti on teufelsseechaussee before you head up

honestly teufelsberg is solid but if you want something even darker check out the fields near rahnsdorf on the mueggelsee side. take the s3 to friedrichshagen then walk east along the water towards the mueggelberge, theres a stretch of beach where the city lights are mostly blocked by the hills. i went last year around 1am and saw maybe 20-30 meteors an hour, not insane but def visible. just watch out for the occasional bike path, some people ride through there without lights

tbh the mohnikeweg viewing platform in the wuhlheide is underrated for this. it's not as known as teufelsberg so way less people, and the park's forest blocks a lot of the ambient light from köpenick. take the s3 to wuhlheide then walk 10 mins through the woods, the platform faces south so you get a clean sky away from the city center. i saw the geminids there a few years back and it was quiet enough to hear the leaves rustle between meteors

just check if the park gate is locked after dark, sometimes they close the main entrance at dusk but there's a side gap near the tram stop on hegenauallee that stays open

If you've got a car, drive out to the area around Tempelhofer Feld. Not the park itself since it's lit up, but just past the southern edge near the old runways. There's a little dirt path off Oderstraße where the sky opens up pretty wide and the surrounding neighborhoods are mostly low-rise so the glow is minimal. I parked there last summer and caught a decent show around midnight, maybe 15-20 per hour. Bring bug spray though, the grass gets damp.
