It is part of Bundesstraße 5; from Theodor-Heuss-Platz to Wilhelmstraße it is forms part of Bundesstraße 2. With a length of around 10 kilometres, it is one of the longest streets in Berlin and an important commuter route.

The Stößenseebrücke is a steel truss bridge over the Stößensee and the Havelchaussee in the Berlin district of Spandau. The listed bridge from 1908/1909 is part of Heerstraße (federal highway 2/5) and connects the Spandau district of Wilhelmstadt with the Westend district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The biggest technical and financial problem during the construction of the Heerstraße was bridging the Havel lowland, which includes the Stößensee, an old arm of the Havel. From several options, including an additional 250-meter-long bridge over the Scharfe Lanke, the planners opted for a route that could manage with two bridges - over the Havel and the Stößensee. With regard to the variants of the Stößensee bridge, the "small" solution with a dam embankment and a bridge around 100 meters long was chosen instead of a bridge over the entire lake. The bridge consists of a system of cantilever girders with connected towing girders and has a span of around 50 meters. It was designed by civil engineer Karl Bernhard.

The Berlin 1939–1945 War Cemetery is one of two Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemeteries in Berlin, the other being the World War I Berlin South-Western Cemetery in Stahnsdorf, Brandenburg.

There are also 260 burials from the post-war British Occupation Authorities staff, or their relatives. Of the wartime burials, about 80% are aircrew, killed in action over Germany: the remainder are prisoners of war.

Tiefwerder encompasses both a village and a Werder along the Havel River in the Berlin district of Spandau. While the village of Tiefwerder, along with the neighboring southern port of Spandau, falls under the jurisdiction of the district of Spandau, the surrounding forested areas, meadows, and water areas of the Werder are administratively part of the district of Wilhelmstadt. An early Slavic settlement existed at Faulen See until the 13th century. The village of Tiefwerder was established as a colonist village in 1815. It was during this time that descendants of the Spandau Kietz fishermen were resettled on the Werder. Today, a significant portion of the historic houses lining the village street has been preserved and is recognized as the entire ensemble of the colonist settlement Tiefwerder. The building at Dorfstraße 5 from 1895, which has been home to the Ballhaus Spandau since the 1920s, is also a listed building. Additionally, the Tiefwerder waterworks, built in 1914, played a crucial role by supplying drinking water to six Berlin districts. To the south and east, the village of Tiefwerder is bordered by the Tiefwerder Wiesen landscape conservation area. This area, intersected by ancient arms of the Havel River, stands as Berlin's last preserved natural floodplain and a crucial spawning ground for pike, contributing significantly to species protection efforts. It boasts a diverse landscape, featuring wet meadows, remnants of floodplain forests, and reed beds with natural land-water transitions. Due to the numerous watercourses and settlements along the ditches, Tiefwerder is also known as the "Little Venice of Spandau".

It is served by the Berlin S-Bahn. The station is south of the lake Schlachtensee and was opened in 1874. The service was temporarily suspended because of the low use because of the S-Bahn-Boykott during the Cold War, to demonstrate against the GDR who also operated the S-Bahn in the west of berlin, despite the wall. In 1970, the tracks were dismantled. It was not until 1985 that operations could be resumed.
