The Bullengraben is a moat that was cultivated in the 7th century in Berlin's glacial valley. It is located in the Berlin district of Spandau and leads from the old village center of Staakens for around five kilometers to the east to the Havel, into which it flows, in the last section underground, north of the Spandau castle wall. Used for centuries to ameliorate the damp lowland, the ditch has served as a drainage ditch since the 1960s to take in rainwater from the surrounding Spandau city districts. The development of the areas around the Bullengraben reflects part of the Spandau settlement history.
