After an impressive steam locomotive featuring a lookout tower, fanciful huts and palaces, an historic field windmill and a pirate playground, a new playground was opened in Hamburg-Bergedorf for which Zimmer.Obst was able to play a part.


This new “Moon Playground” offers everything that makes little astronauts’ hearts beat faster.


An exciting space capsule is located in the toddler area serving as a playhouse for the youngest visitors. The children can access the “capsule” using various climbing possibilities. A small bench is located here for taking breaks and then it’s off outside again over a mini-slide. The capsule’s cladding was constructed in a “gap-like” (transparent) fashion so one can always keep a close eye on the little ones. There are nevertheless also fun crawling and hiding possibilities in the lower area of the capsule.

The kids will also find a tottering “Moon Seesaw” and “Moon Swing” at the playground.

But the special highlight of this spacious playground is a giant “rocket” with a netted tunnel connection to a “docking station”.

This approximately 5-meter-tall rocket is an exciting climbing device, especially inside with its various climbing grips, ropes and platform levels. Once the children reach the top of the rocket they can enjoy a wonderful view of the entire playground through the red grid dome. The fun continues either over the tube slide back to “Earth” or through the netted tunnel back to the “docking station.” You are only able to leave the station by way of a vertical netted tunnel or a sliding pole. Like the moon capsule, the entire device has been cladded in a very transparent manner.

During the opening event on November 23, 2015, many children from the adjoining facilities came and celebrated at the playground with singing, cute costumes and great play performances. A “genuine” astronaut was even there for the takeoff of this rocket!

The playground rocket was successfully ignited with lots of impenetrable noise and vapor. The children were then finally able to explore the playground and discover fantastic new and unknown worlds.
