Karow, Residential locality in Pankow district, Germany
Karow is a residential locality in northeastern Berlin with neighborhoods mixed with parks, water bodies, and natural areas. The district features a calm layout with tree-lined streets, lakes, and green spaces that define its character.
First mentioned in 1375 as Kare, the settlement developed as a rural community in Prussian territory. It became part of Berlin in 1920 when the city expanded to include surrounding municipalities.
The neighborhood functions as a residential community where people value quiet surroundings and easy access to nature. Local residents use the green areas for daily recreation and outdoor activities.
