Seven tips for the southeast of Berlin: Lots of greenery, lots of history, lots to experience. Altglienicke is worth a visit for young and old. Let's go - enjoy the neighborhood stroll around Anne-Frank-Strasse.

CABUWAZI Altglienicke (Venusstrasse 90)

The children's circus CABUWAZI can also be found in Altglienicke, one of six locations in Berlin. The yellow and red striped circus tent, in which children and young people show what they can do, shines from afar: dancing, juggling, magic, balancing, acrobatics and entertaining the audience as clowns! Many young people are on stage here for the first time. CABUWAZI is a place to get to know each other, try things out, make friends and discover your own strengths - it's fun and brings people together.

WASLALA Children’s Farm (Venusstraße 48)

Goats, sheep, ponies, cats and rabbits: At the inclusive WASLALA children's farm, young guests look after the many four-legged friends all year round. The name of the facility stands for a peaceful place of coexistence, as in the novel of the same name by Gioconda Belli. The grounds with adventure playground are - except for family Saturdays - a parent-free zone! Here, the children can look after animals together, build wooden huts, bake stick bread, catch fish, romp around and be creative. They are supervised by trained teachers. The most important rule: tolerance and respectful coexistence. Registration is not necessary.

Settlers’ Home Falkenhöhe (Renettenweg 26)

Knacker with fried potatoes, farmer's omelette with currywurst, stacked schnitzel with chips or spiced meat with cheese and lecho? You can have it! The Siedlerheim Falkenhöhe, a small but fine garden restaurant on Renettenweg, is a popular destination for residents of the surrounding settlements. In a friendly atmosphere, the couple who run it serve hearty dishes and various types of beer at fair prices. Information in advance: only cash is king here.

Intercultural Garden Altglienicke (Nelkenweg 63)

Since 2007, people with and without a migration background have been meeting to garden together in the Altglienicke Intercultural Garden on Nelkenweg. It was founded on the initiative of the Ecumenical One World Initiative Group (OEIGEW). Age, social and cultural background play no role here. The residents who tend the garden are neighbors with roots in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Turkmenistan and Germany.

Altglienicke water tower (Schirnerstrasse 17/19)

The Altglienicke water tower on Schirnerstrasse is a real eye-catcher. It rises 39 metres into the air and is made of red bricks. Almost 120 years ago, a water supply association decided to build it in order to provide the three communities of Altglienicke, Adlershof and Grünau with fresh water. The large water tank had a capacity of 600 cubic metres. The listed landmark of Altglienicke, which was taken out of service in 1956, is currently being renovated - apartments are being built there at lofty heights.

Prussian settlement (Germanenstraße 80-84)

The architects Max Bel, Franz Clement and Hermann Muthesius built the Preußensiedlung from 1910 to 1913, a planned settlement based on the English model, with a total of 54 small residential buildings. This complex was completely spared from the destruction of the Second World War and clearly shows that it comes from another time. Strolling through the so-called garden city, you feel like you are in a cozy, small village. In 1997, the Preußensiedlung was listed as a historical monument.

VSG Altglienicke (Alter Schönefelder Weg 20)
Football fields as far as the eye can see: At the Volkssport Gemeinschaft Altglienicke (VSG), football is the flagship sport alongside the popular sports of volleyball, handball and badminton. The sports club looks back on a long history that began in 1883 and is one of the few former East Berlin clubs that has been able to keep its traditional name. Its first football team plays in the Berlin Regional League. But not everything at the VSG revolves around balls: senior sports, dancing and gymnastics are also on offer.
