Berlijn (Sranan Tongo: Balen[1]) is a village and former wood plantation in the resort of Zuid in the Para District in Suriname.

It is located on the Para Creek,[1] and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport.

[2] On 25 February 1763, Johan Godlieb van Borrius bought 1,000 Surinamese acres (about 430 hectares[3]) of land, and founded the wood plantation Berlijn.

In Paramaribo, the slaves discovered their final destination, revolted, and escaped back to Berlijn.

[6] The economy is mainly based on subsistence farming,[10] and people who work at the airport and Cola Creek, a nearby tourist resort.
