Named after the Treptower Park, a 19th-century public park on the Spree.
The 88.2-hectare park was laid out from 1876 to 1888 to plans by the city’s garden director Gustav Meyer, as a public park open to all. In 1896 it hosted the Berlin Trade Exhibition; after the Second World War the Soviet War Memorial was built in it. The station opened in 1875 as Treptow and has been called Treptower Park since 1937.
