Reiherwerder, Archaeological park in Tegel district, Berlin, Germany

Reiherwerder stretches 300 meters into Lake Tegel as a peninsula, covering 12.37 hectares with dense vegetation and historical structures.

The site contains Bronze Age graves, clay vessels, and stone axes, along with a 10th-century Frankish iron sword from the Slavic period.

The Borsig Villa, constructed in 1913, functions as a guest house for the German Foreign Ministry and includes preserved historical service buildings.

The entire peninsula remains closed to public access as it serves as a training facility for the Foreign Service Academy since 2006.

Originally consisting of two islands, the Great and Small Reiherwerder were connected to the mainland through land reclamation in the early 1900s.
