Bohnsdorf, Residential district in Treptow-Köpenick, Germany
Bohnsdorf is a residential district in Treptow-Köpenick combining family homes, tree-lined streets, and green areas. The neighborhood spreads out with low-rise buildings and gardens that give it a quieter feel than Berlin's inner districts.
The area was first recorded in the 14th century as Bonenstorp, originating from a Slavic settlement. It retained its basic character through medieval German expansion and gradually developed into a rural village over centuries.
The Pflanzenmarkt Bohnsdorf serves as a community gathering place where locals discuss plants, gardening, and seasonal projects. This hub brings neighbors together through shared interests and practical knowledge about caring for green spaces.
The district is accessible by S-Bahn and U-Bahn trains connecting to central Berlin and Brandenburg areas. When exploring on foot or by bike, note that the terrain is damp in some areas, so sticking to higher-lying streets makes for easier walking.
The Plumpengraben stream runs through the eastern part and historically shaped where people could build. The drainage systems installed to make development possible are still visible in the land's contours today.
