Organ concerts often take place in the castle church.

The "Berlin Spy Tunnel" memorial plaque commemorates a 450 m long spy tunnel that led from a US armed forces radar station in Rudow (West Berlin) to Schönefelder Chaussee in Altglienicke in the Soviet sector. The tunnel gave the American and British secret services access to the telephone cables used by the Soviet armed forces in the GDR for their internal communications. Until its discovery in April 1956, the tunnel was in operation for 11 months and recorded around 440,000 conversations on around 50,000 tape reels. A British double agent had betrayed the operation to the KGB, the Soviet secret service. However, the KGB only took action after a delay so as not to endanger the double agent.

Interesting contribution to the history of Berlin

Prussia's intransigence towards freedom-loving lateral thinkers led the authorities to set up a prison in the cellars of the castle at the beginning of the 19th century. Between 1823 and 1830, so-called “demagogues”, public democrats and critics of the monarchy who were rigorously persecuted after the Carlsbad Resolutions, were imprisoned here. The castle park, laid out as a baroque garden in 1690, is now in the style of the 1960s with numerous sculptures. The Schlosscafé Köpenick is located in a beautiful riverside location and is nice to sit inside and outside.

The Biesdorf Palace and Palace Park in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district are among the most important architectural monuments of the 19th century in Berlin and are a popular destination in the east of the city. You can visit the castle, there are always exhibitions, and there is also a nice café with a good selection of cakes.

Joachim II of Brandenburg, a very contentious man, commissioned the construction of a Renaissance hunting lodge on the island in the Dahme River in 1558. It was likely considerably more imposing and robust than the later Baroque-style palace built by King Frederick I. In the following years, the lodge underwent further expansion and renovations and now houses an interesting museum. The heraldic hall on the second floor is particularly worth a visit. Opening hours and further information can be found here: www.smb.museum/museen-einrichtungen/schloss-koepenick/home/. At the end of the 17th century, a small Baroque garden was laid out south of the lodge. This garden was also repeatedly altered and eventually transformed into the beautiful landscaped park through which you can stroll today.
