Guided Story

Look up at those majestic towers and turrets—aren't they something special? They whisper tales of when Köpenick was an independent town, long before it became part of Berlin. Imagine the early 1900s, locals bustling around the market square as this grand building was constructed. Behind you, across the river, is the lovely Luisenhain park. A perfect spot to relax after exploring here. Did you know the town hall is famous for the 'Captain of Köpenick' incident? A con artist in 1906 occupied this very building, paralyzing the city administration. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction, isn't it?
