Berlin-Spandau is usually spared from streams of tourists. Good for us Spandauer, rather bad for some really great destinations that Spandau has to offer. We took a look at one of the few museums in Spandau:
Military History Museum at Gatow Airfield.

This article begins with …once upon a time… and ends with a big question mark.
Once upon a time, the Siemensstadt S-Bahn ran from Jungfernheide station to Haselhorst. It’s not that long ago that even my parents still drove this route to school and university every day and countless Siemens workers used this route every day to get to work. At peak times, the train ran every 2 minutes with 12 cars. Today, no train runs along here anymore – why?

A rather unknown cemetery lies on the eastern shore of Plötzensee. Rather by chance, I passed the Plötzensee cemetery in Wedding on a bicycle tour and decided to walk through the park-like grounds.

Berlin’s local transport system is very well developed. You can explore the whole city by bus, S-Bahn, U-Bahn or tram. Day tickets or even tourist tickets are not that expensive and if you choose the right route, you can save on expensive bus tours offered by other tour operators.

Our tour through Berlin led us to the Soviet Memorial in the Tiergarten, which is located directly on the Straße des 17.Juni, less than 300 meters from the Reichstag.
I love to discover Berlin. Unfortunately, one often takes far too little time for his hometown and in addition Berlin is not exactly small. Since you are often with the public transport, especially from my home district Spandau, quickly times an hour on the road until you reach the desired destination. The Treptower Park is not one of the destinations that are around the corner for me.
