The name goes back to a meeting between the Swedish King Gustav Adolf and the Brandenburg Elector Georg Wilhelm, which took place during the Thirty Years' War at the Kanne forester's house halfway between Berlin and Köpenick. In May 1631, the Swedish king asked the elector to give him the fortresses of Spandau and Küstrin for the Swedish army in order to save the city of Magdeburg, which was threatened by Tilly's troops. The Elector, who was initially hesitant, postponed the decision. In any case, it came too late to prevent the destruction of Magdeburg.
