Rummelsburg

Rummelsburg is a district in Lichtenberg situated between the railway ring near Ostkreuz station and Blockdammweg. The area borders the Spree River and Rummelsburger Lake at approximately 40 meters elevation.

The settlement began in 1669 as a brick factory, later purchased by wine merchant Johann Jakob Rummel who established an inn there. His name became tied to the area and shaped its development from a trading place.

The area displays layers of its complex past as historic structures stand alongside contemporary housing. Visitors can read the transformation from industrial to residential use in the architecture, which reflects different periods and purposes.

The district is accessible via S-Bahnhof Rummelsburg with connections to tram line 21 and buses 194, 240, N40, and N94. The station features elevators and ticket machines for convenient arrival.

The Klingenberg power plant, opened in 1925, continues to supply the city with significant amounts of electricity and heat. The district's industrial roots remain visible and shape its character today.
