Guided Story

You're standing in a place steeped in history, dating back to the 7th century. The Bullengraben stretches five kilometers from the old village center of Staaken to the Havel River. Over the centuries, it has shaped the landscape and now serves as a rainwater drainage system. Since 2007, it's been known as a park. As you look east, remember that the ditch runs underground before it meets the Havel. This park is a vibrant part of Spandau, blending the past with the present.
