Tegel Harbour

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

This area was once a bustling industrial port, but operations largely ceased with the division of Germany. The first major repurposing took place in the 1980s: as part of the International Building Exhibition, new residential buildings designed by renowned architects were constructed.

Today, the old port, with its idyllic location between Lake Tegel and the Tegel River, has become a trendy residential area. Along the waterfront stand not only elegant townhouses but also the so-called "floating houses." Strolling through the port, the modern architecture is reminiscent of Copenhagen or Stockholm, and you quickly forget you're still in the heart of Berlin.

Tegel Lake

Highlight • Lake

Lake Tegel is located in the north of Berlin. With an area of four and a half square kilometers, it is the second largest lake in Berlin - and one of the most beautiful. Numerous excursion boats sail here and you can watch the sailing boats pass by on the benches.

Or you can just grab a boat yourself from the boat rental and explore the huge bay on your own.

Cannon Square at Lake Tegel

Highlight • Monument

Kanonenplatz is located below the Greenwich Promenade. There are two cast-iron cannons from the 18th century, which the Scot William Carron of Falkirk made. They used to serve as British coastal defenses. The district received the two-ton cannons as a gift from their sister city Greenwich in April 1983. From Kanonenplatz you have a stunning view over Lake Tegel and its islands.

Saatwinkler Steg

Highlight • Bridge

The Saatwinkler Steg is a pedestrian bridge built in 1990 over the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal (Hohenzollern Canal) at kilometer 1.06 in Berlin-Haselhorst.

The location of the bridge was chosen based on various factors. For example, a sufficient distance had to be maintained from the mouth of the old canal arm, and the immediately adjacent widening of the Hohenzollern Canal (the canoe polo fields of the Berlin Canoeing Association are now located in this area) made it necessary to move it further to the northwest. In addition, there were high-voltage pylons belonging to Bewag (now Vattenfall Europe Berlin) in the planned area. In addition, the existing tree population had to be taken into account during construction, and the connection to the existing network of paths also played a role.

The 94.80 meter long bridge is based on reinforced concrete abutments, which in turn have inclined piles as a foundation. These piles are surrounded by sheet pile walls. The static system is a two-hinged arch with a suspended walkway. The Saatwinkler Steg measures 7.30 meters at its widest point, the usable width is 3.10 meters throughout. The bridge is equipped with drainage and four lights. The passage width is 21 meters.

The Berlin-Hamburg and Berlin-Schwerin-Lübeck long-distance cycle routes as well as the Berlin-Copenhagen long-distance cycle route run over this bridge

Tegel Workers' Beach

Highlight • Beach

From the wide sandy beach you can not only jump into the wonderfully clear water. Take your time and watch the sailing boats and private boats that pass leisurely. If you are looking for some protection from the sun, shade trees are available.

Sechserbrücke (Tegel Harbor Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

Listed bridge at Tegel Harbor, which is 91 meters long and spans the mouth of the Tegel River and the harbor entrance. The name “Sechserbrücke” dates back to the early 20th century. Back then you paid a “sixer”, half a groschen, bridge toll if you wanted to stroll across the bridge.
