Tips from the Community
The construction of the Teltowkanal was oriented at the time by the surface forms shaped by the Bäke and went through marshlands here, the Schönower and Teltower See. After the drainage of the marshlands, the Teltower See left new building land for companies and residential buildings and that of the Zehlendorfer Stichkanal with a harbor. With the construction of the Wall, which divided Germany, the companies went to West Germany, the harbor lost its importance and an inner-German border emerged, today the historical Berliner Mauerweg and here simultaneously the Berlin city border in the middle of a nature reserve for cyclists and walkers.

A beautiful bike path along the Teltow Canal. Wide enough for several people and bikes at once. Caution is advised in places, as roots push through the path from below.

Saint Andrew, to whom this church in Teltow – in the immediate vicinity of Berlin – was dedicated, is firmly among the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. Yet in the biblical accounts, he is often somewhat overshadowed by his far more famous brother: Saint Peter. In the Gospels, we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with a second, but strangely unnamed, disciple) and then announces to his brother Simon (who would later receive the name Peter, meaning "rock," from Jesus) that he has found the awaited Messiah. The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations.

Because of a bomb disposal operation, we had to take a detour and walk a short distance through the area.

Here, you can enjoy your ride far away from traffic. However, caution is advised, as many tree roots are already penetrating the asphalt.

Stadtkirche Sankt Andreas in Teltow, along the Way of St. James. After the great town and church fire of 1801, it received its current form. Reconstruction from 1810-1812. The interior was given its present appearance through a fundamental renovation in 1910.
