Japaneck, Tripoint in Lichterfelde, Germany.

The geographical tripoint marks the meeting point of Berlin's district Lichterfelde with Brandenburg's counties Teltow-Fläming and Potsdam-Mittelmark at coordinates 52.399069, 13.312117.

Until 1990, this location marked the border between West Berlin and East Germany, featuring a wide strip of border security installations that remains largely undeveloped.

The name Japaneck originated when TV Asahi reporters visited Teltow in 1989, leading to a campaign that collected funds from 20,000 Japanese donors.

Multiple walking paths intersect at Japaneck, including the Berlin Wall Trail, the Teltow Village Path, and the Jacob's Way, making it accessible for pedestrians.

The donated funds enabled planting 1,000 Japanese cherry trees in 1995, creating the 1.8-kilometer TV-Asahi Cherry Blossom Avenue along the Berlin state border.
