Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park (Berlin U-Bahn)
U-Bahn station Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park in Berlin, with train departing for Pankow

Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park is a Berlin U-Bahn station opened in 1998 on the U2 line in the Tiergarten district, at the border with Kreuzberg. The station received its name after a small park east of the building, itself named in honor of the composer Felix Mendelssohn.

Though it is one of the youngest stations of the Berlin U-Bahn system, it is located on the first Stammstrecke line of 1902, where its northern branch crosses the Landwehr Canal on a viaduct and passes underground towards Potsdamer Platz. With the building of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961, train service was interrupted and for a brief time in 1991 the tracks served for the experimental M-Bahn maglev line, stopping at Bernburger Strasse station slightly to the north.

Following reunification, the M-Bahn was removed to allow the U-Bahn U2 to be reinstated. The line was reopened on 13 November 1993, the station with access to the debis headquarters of the former Daimler-Benz company however was not opened until 2 October 1998.
