Spandau, Administrative district in western Berlin, Germany.

Spandau extends across both banks of the Havel River, containing extensive forests, lakes, and waterways covering an area of 91.91 square kilometers.

The district originated as an independent city dating back to 1232 and maintained its autonomy until incorporation into Greater Berlin in 1920.

The Renaissance-era Spandau Citadel hosts regular concerts, exhibitions, and medieval markets within its four-sided fortress structure surrounded by water channels.

The Berlin-Spandau railway station serves as a major transportation hub, connecting regional trains to Hamburg and Hanover with local S-Bahn networks.

The district contains Siemensstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage housing estate that demonstrates early 20th-century modernist architectural principles.
