Viktoria Park waterfall on Kreuzberg Hill in Viktoriapark, Berlin. Water feature driven by a pump is replica of the Riesengebirge mountain waterfall In 1888, Kaiser Friedrich III decided that the National monument on Kreuzberg Hill needed a park setting and he named the new park in honour of his English wife, Victoria. The waterfall was the planned by Hermann Mächtig, the city’s director of parks and gardens. It is thought to be a replica of the waterfall in the Riesengebirge mountains (now known as the Krkonoše) on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic It was constructed using large rocks and is a good copy of a mountain waterfall but is powered by a pump.
