Friedrichshagen

Friedrichshagen is a residential area in southeastern Berlin that stretches along the northern shore of Müggelsee lake and features old villas alongside wide, tree-lined streets. The district has kept a rural feel despite being part of the city.

The place began in 1753 as a colony under King Frederick II and remained independent for a long time until it was incorporated into Berlin in 1920 and lost its own status.

The area developed as an artists' hub, and galleries and small theaters still shape its character today. As you walk through, you notice how many studios and exhibition spaces are tucked between residential buildings.

The S3 train line connects the district to central Berlin, and trams link you to nearby destinations. It is easy to explore whether you arrive by public transit or bicycle.

The district borders Berlin's largest inland lake, Müggelsee, which invites swimming and relaxation. The lake sits practically on the doorstep and gives many residents a daily connection to nature.
