Spreepark

Within Treptower Park, there can be found an abandoned amusement park, known as 'Spree Park - Berlin'. The amusement park operated from October 1969 to 2001.

The owner of Spree Park, Norbert Witte went bankrupt and left Germany rather abruptly. He took several of the park's rides including the Jet Star and Fun Express with him to Peru where he was to open a small park called Lunapark at Jockey Plaza in Lima, Peru. Some of the rides were damaged in transit and then followed by legal discussions of who would pay for the damages.
