Kaisersteg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Between 2005 and 2007, the Kaisersteg was rebuilt as a pedestrian and cycle path bridge over the Spree between Nieder- and Oberschöneweide. Here you have a great view of the Spree and the surrounding area.
The old Kaisersteg bridge was blown up by the SS in the last days of World War II.

Confluence of the Dahme and the Spree

Highlight • River

Here the Dahme flows into the Spree, although it actually looks the other way around. But the Dahme ends here and the Spree flows towards Treptow and Berlin.

Köpenick Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Built between 1901 and 1905 and extended in several sections between 1927 and 1949, the town hall Köpenick has been a listed building since 1982. The building became world famous only one year after its construction by the so-called Captain von Köpenick. The unemployed shoemaker Friedrich Wilhelm Voigt arrested the mayor Georg Langhans on 16.10.1906 in a captain's uniform and with the help of ten soldiers who came in, and seized the city treasury.

From here you can reach the Köpenick Castle, the Köpenick Town Hall, the Laurentiuskirche and the Luisenhain in just a few steps.

View of Köpenick Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

For a view of Köpenick's old town, you're actually a bit too far north; the view from the viewpoint on Gutenbergstrasse is definitely better. But the view of the buildings around the former "Bero" coffee factory on Lindenstrasse directly opposite is all the better for it.
