Alt-Treptow

Alt-Treptow is a residential neighborhood that stretches along the Spree River, with Treptower Park as its prominent eastern section. The district borders Kreuzberg, Neukölln, and Friedrichshain.

The area was first inhabited by Slavic peoples in the 6th century and remained a farming village for centuries. Industrialization in the late 19th century transformed its character.

The Soviet War Memorial shapes how people experience Treptower Park and serves as a place where visitors reflect on history. The monument draws people from across the city to remember and pay respect.

The Treptower Park S-Bahn station connects the neighborhood to four major train lines for easy travel across the city. Walking along the riverbank is the best way to explore the area and its attractions.

The Insel der Jugend, a small island in the Spree, holds a historic 1916 bridge and serves as a venue for concerts and events. This hidden spot gives visitors a quiet escape with ongoing cultural activity.
