TreptowKöpenick

TreptowKöpenick is the tenth and largest borough of Berlin by area, created by a reform in 2001 by merging the former boroughs of Treptow and Köpenick. It is located in the southeast of the city and is known for its extensive green spaces and waterways. The borough's landscape is characterized by forests, lakes, and the Spree River, offering numerous recreational opportunities.

Historically, Köpenick has a rich past, famously associated with the "Captain of Köpenick" legend. It was a separate town before becoming part of Greater Berlin in 1920. Treptow, on the other hand, developed as an industrial and residential area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Following German reunification, both areas underwent significant changes and developments.

Key landmarks within TreptowKöpenick include the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park, one of the largest Soviet war memorials outside of Russia, and Köpenick Palace, situated on an island in the Dahme River. The borough also encompasses the Müggelsee, Berlin's largest lake, and extensive parklands like the Wuhlheide.

The economy of TreptowKöpenick is diverse, with a mix of technology companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, and a growing service sector. It is a popular residential area, attracting families and individuals drawn to its quieter, more natural environment compared to the city center, while still maintaining good public transport connections to the rest of Berlin.
