About Pollen in Berlin

Berlin’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch (Betula) and Alder (Alnus) pollen; Birch prolific in the Tiergarten and Grunewald forest; Alder widespread along the Spree riverbanks. Oak (Quercus) contributes to counts from Volkspark Friedrichshain and Treptower Park. Summer (May-August) sees high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from Tempelhofer Feld and outer meadows.

Wide boulevards and the city’s sandy soil influence pollen dispersal; flat topography allows winds to carry spores from surrounding Brandenburg forests. Autumn and winter have high Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from leaf litter in the Großer Tiergarten and damp conditions near the Havel river.
