Treptow

Treptow is a borough in southeastern Berlin comprising neighborhoods like Alt-Treptow, Plänterwald, Johannisthal, and Adlershof. The area is shaped by the Spree River and contains residential zones, industrial heritage sites, and green spaces spread across its different sections.

The area was established as an independent borough in 1920 and maintained this status for over 80 years. In 2001 it merged with the neighboring Köpenick district to form a single administrative unit.

The area maintains strong connections to nature through parks and green spaces where locals spend their leisure time along the Spree riverbanks. Neighborhoods preserve a community feel with local gathering places and recreational options for people of all ages.

Public transportation links this area well to central Berlin and makes getting around straightforward. Parks and activities along the Spree are easily accessible from several points throughout the district.

The Johannisthal neighborhood was home to Germany's first major airfield, which attracted aviation pioneers and crowds in the early 1900s. This site of early flight history left a lasting mark on the region's development and character.
