Rummelsburg

Rummelsburg extends between the railway ring near Ostkreuz station and Blockdammweg, bordering the Spree River and Rummelsburger Lake at 40 meters elevation.

The area originated from a brick factory in 1669, later purchased by wine merchant Johann Jakob Rummel who transformed it into an inn, giving the settlement its name.

The former municipal workhouse, constructed between 1877 and 1879, underwent transformation from a detention facility during GDR times to residential buildings.

The S-Bahnhof Rummelsburg provides railway connections with tram line 21 and buses 194, 240, N40, and N94, featuring elevator access and ticket machines.

The Klingenberg power plant, established in 1925, continues to supply substantial electrical and heating power to Berlin's infrastructure network.
