Tiefwerder Wiesen, Natural floodplain in Spandau district, Berlin, Germany
Tiefwerder Wiesen is a floodplain in the Spandau district comprising wet meadows, old Havel River channels, and Faule See lake within a protected conservation area. The landscape displays characteristic wetland features with diverse vegetation along its shorelines.
Archaeological discoveries show that early Slavic peoples built settlements along Faule See shores. Water levels of the lake have shifted over centuries through natural processes since medieval times.
The area draws school groups and researchers who study wetland ecosystems and observe native wildlife in their natural surroundings. The meadows serve as an open classroom for learning about nature and ecology.
Walking trails crisscross the area, allowing you to watch plants and animals while respecting protected zones. The best times to visit are spring and early autumn when bird activity is at its peak.
The area is Berlin's last remaining spawning ground for pike and provides habitat for rare plant species including bladder sedge. This combination makes the location particularly valuable for conservation and biodiversity research.
