Saatwinkel, Residential district in Reinickendorf, Germany.
Saatwinkel is a residential district in Reinickendorf that stretches along the shores of Lake Tegel with houses, boat docks, and camping grounds. The landscape transitions between built areas and green spaces that slope toward the water.
The area began around 1749 with the founding of a salt facility that initially served as a wood storage and had its first building constructed in 1750. It later grew into a place for fishing and leisure activities by the lake.
The neighborhood has become a gathering place for people who enjoy water activities and nature. Local restaurants and cafes shape the everyday character and invite visitors to participate in community life.
The area offers several options for boating and water activities, with rental services that arrange outings for smaller to medium groups. Access to the waterfront areas is relatively open, and there are paths for exploring the shoreline.
A former harbor crane stood until the early 1880s where the Berlin-Spandau canal met the lake. This structure was once an important transfer point for goods between the canal and the water.
