Wilhelmstadt: Spandau's Historic Core, Zitadelle Fortress, and the Havel Waterfront in Western Berlin
Wilhelmstadt is a neighbourhood in Berlin's Spandau borough with a population around 40,500. The name refers to the area around the Zitadelle Spandau, one of the best-preserved Renaissance fortresses in Europe, built in the 16th century on an island at the confluence of the Havel and Spree. The Zitadelle hosts exhibitions, concerts, and a bat sanctuary in its underground passages.
The Altstadt Spandau, a pedestrianised shopping area along the Carl-Schurz-Strasse and Breite Strasse, lies within Wilhelmstadt's boundaries. St. Nikolai-Kirche, a Gothic church from the 14th century, anchors the Reformationsplatz. The Havel riverfront provides boat moorings and waterside restaurants. The British military maintained barracks in Wilhelmstadt throughout the Cold War. Spandau's characteristic independence from central Berlin persists culturally. The U7 reaches the city centre in about 35 minutes. Adult companionship follows Berlin's city-state regulations.
