Karow

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.

Karow station on the S2 line provides rail access to central Berlin and connects with several bus routes. Walking and cycling paths weave through the green spaces, making it easy to explore the lakes and natural reserves.

Karow borders the Karower Teiche nature reserve, part of the Barnim Nature Park, containing several lakes and forested areas. This setting creates a special situation where residential development and untouched natural spaces exist side by side.
