Battle of Jena–Auerstedt
When upon the 1806 Battle of Jena–Auerstedt victorious Napoleon moved into Berlin, he had a military camp set up on Spandauer Berg, though he himself chose nearby Charlottenburg Palace for accommodation. In May 1808 General Claude Victor-Perrin, French governor of Berlin, pitched the large "Camp Napoleonbourg" here, however, he folded up his tents already in November and wasteland was left behind. On the road from Charlottenburg to Spandau, the "Spandauer Bock" brewery was established in 1840, together with a popular pub catering though of doubtful reputation.
