Gatow, Rural locality in Spandau, Germany
Gatow stands on the western banks of the Havel River, maintaining its village character with old farmyards and cobblestone paths throughout the district.
The first documented mention of Gatow dates to 1258, when German settlers established the village, which later included 50 Hufen of land by 1375.
The Villa Lemm, designed in 1908 by architect Max Werner, represents English country house architecture with Italian-styled terraced gardens in the district.
Multiple bus lines connect Gatow to central Spandau and other Berlin districts, while the Havel River provides swimming spots during summer months.
Albert Einstein kept his sailing boat in a boathouse near the local bathing meadow, connecting this village to the renowned physicist's recreational activities.
