Hakenfelde

Hakenfelde is the northernmost district of Spandau. The majority of it is taken up by the Spandauer Forst—where the quagmires of Teufelsbruch, Grosser Rohrpfuhl and Kleiner Rohrpfuhl form protected wetlands home to rare animals and plant species. Schoenwerder Allee cuts through the forest—branching off into game trails that leads to smaller, isolated parts of the region. Several settlements on the outer reaches of Spandau are exclaves, connected to West Berlin via narrow road corridors.
The residential area Waldsiedlung Hakenfelde was established in the 1920's to combat housing shortages in West Berlin. The rowhouses are simple in design and built with garden plots, housing single, two or four families. Small shops are available to supply the daily needs of the locals. The community is tight-knit, though the police response time is slow due to the vastness of the area.
