Strausberg: Straussee Lake, Electric Ferry Crossing, and the Brandenburg Garrison Town East of Berlin
Strausberg has roughly 26,600 residents and lies on the Straussee lake in the Maerkisch-Oderland district of Brandenburg. An electric-powered passenger ferry, in service since 1894, crosses the lake on an overhead wire system. The Bundeswehr maintains facilities nearby, continuing Strausberg's military tradition from Prussian times onward. The S5 line extends from Berlin to Strausberg, making it a commuter base.
Berlin-Marzahn is about 25 kilometres west. Muencheberg lies to the east. Ruedersdorf is to the south. The Maerkische Schweiz (Brandenburg Switzerland), a hilly moraine landscape, begins nearby. Bad Freienwalde is to the northeast. Strausberg's lakeside promenade and wooded shores draw day-trippers from Berlin.
