The best dog-friendly hikes and walks around Rummelsburger Lake

The boys' orphanage was part of the Friedrichs-Waisenhaus Rummelsburg (Friedrich's Orphanage Rummelsburg). It was designed in 1853 and built between 1854 and 1859. It served as a home for orphaned boys and girls found in Berlin and the surrounding area. It was commissioned by the Berlin Magistrate. Orphans continued to be housed there until 1949. Later, it was used as a convalescent home. Only the two boys' houses remain and are listed as historical monuments. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichs-Waisenhaus_Rummelsburg

What many don't know, however, is that the Stralau church tower is said to have already been leaning in 1934. Be that as it may, today it leans 1.1 degrees more than its Italian "colleague," without having achieved the same notoriety.

The Molecule Man is a series of monumental artworks by the American sculptor Jonathan Borofsky. He created versions of this sculpture with three and four people.

There are places where the city suddenly becomes very quiet – not silent, but quiet. The Osthafen is one of them. Here, where the clatter of cranes and the clinking of bottles once set the rhythm, today only the light dances on the Spree. The waterfront promenade is wide and surprisingly empty. No cars, no jostling. Just footsteps on pavement, voices in the wind, and the glittering water that draws the gaze outwards – directly towards him: the Molecule Man. Three pierced giants, wrestling with each other in the middle of the Spree – or embracing, depending on how you started the day. They stand there like a thought that has taken on a life of its own. Like a sketch made of metal that someone wanted to finish dreaming in the middle of the city. And as you look at them, their broken image is reflected in the water – a play of light, hole, and line. To the right is the cool clarity of the Treptowers, to the left the old Berlin that still smells of warehouses and workers' canteens, even if media companies now reside there. The place is a balancing act between yesterday and tomorrow. Between harbor romance and high-gloss glass. In between, you sit on a bench and let the wind tell you stories. And sometimes – when the clouds hang low or the sun stands at an angle – you almost believe that the three made of aluminum have a secret. As if they know more about this city than they say.

Very nice pier in Rummelsburg.

On the side facing the square, the inscription reads: "Despite terror and spying, during the years of the Nazi dictatorship, there was resistance in the working-class district of Rummelsburg based on different beliefs, for which many paid with their lives." Hans Krüger 1904 - 1944 Wilhelm Martinke 1909 - 1945 Erwin Nöldner 1913 - 1944 Walter Riedel 1893 - 1939 Felix Tucholla 1899 - 1943 Käthe Tucholla 1910 - 1943 REMEMBER INSTEAD OF FORGETTING The inscription on the side of the stele reads: "This square was named in 1947 in memory of the Lichtenberg worker and anti-fascist Erwin Nöldner. He was a member of the Communist Youth League and the KPD. First arrested in 1935, he served several years in prison. Erwin Nöldner was subsequently associated with the resistance group around Anton Saefkow, was arrested again, sentenced to death, and murdered in the Brandenburg Penitentiary." This memorial site was created in 2010 at the suggestion of the Lichtenberg citizens and a resolution by their district council. The unveiling of the stele took place on May 7, 2010.
