Dahme (river)

The Lange Brücke is a road bridge over the Dahme in the Berlin district of Köpenick. It represents an important traffic connection between the old town of Köpenick and the newer districts to the west and north-west. In the immediate vicinity of the bridge, on the right bank of the Dahme and south of the old town, is the castle island with the Köpenick castle.The current bridge was originally built in 1892 as a stone arch bridge - as a successor to earlier Dahmeüberwege, which were made of wood and whose existence is documented from the beginning of the 15th century. In the 1930s, traffic was adjusted by means of a provisional widening using a “makeshift building”; In the late 1990s, the city administration had the bridge dismantled, completely refurbished and again widened with a modified construction. Since then there has been a temporary steel bridge next to the historic bridge, which is still used today as a temporary measure. The historic stone bridge has been a listed building since 1992. For a long time the Dahmebrücke was referred to as the "Bridge of Sighs", which goes back to a legend about the cruel end of a pair of lovers from the Ascanian period (13th century). This bridge name and its origin are partly still known in Berlin today.

Schloss Köpenick is a Baroque water palace of the Hohenzollern electors of Brandenburg which stands on an island in the Dahme River surrounded by an English-style park and gives its name to Köpenick, a district of Berlin. The castle was originally built on the foundations of a Slavic castle (6th century) in 1558 as a hunting lodge by order of Elector Joachim II Hector of Brandenburg. The building in a Renaissance style was located on the river island at the site of the former medieval fort. Joachim II died here in 1571. In 1631 it served as the headquarters of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, where he - without results - asked his brother-in-law Elector George William for assistance in the Thirty Years' War. Frederick I of Prussia had the lodge rebuilt and enlarged from 1677 and lived here together with his first wife Elizabeth Henrietta of Hesse-Kassel. In 1730 Frederick II of Prussia, then Crown Prince, and his friend Hans Hermann von Katte faced the court-martial for desertion at Schloss Köpenick. Today the castle surrounded by a small park serves as the Museum of Decorative Arts, run by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation as part of the Berlin State Museums. Since 1963, Köpenick Palace has been used by the Kunstgewerbemuseum as an exhibition space. Being renovated in 2004, the palace accommodates museum of arts with the permanent exhibition "RoomArt", featuring the decorative arts of the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods. The museum also presents the outstanding masterworks in interior design from the 16th to 18th centuries.
