Reinickendorf is a district in the northwest of Berlin. It consists of the localities Tegel, Reinickendorf, Märkisches Viertel (70s built apartment blocks area) and some small, village-like areas. In general, it is a very green district with much water and the neighbourhoods have a typical small town cityscape. In addition to the airport there are some minor sights interesting for tourists (especially architecture in Tegel).

Airport Tegel is located in the southwest of Reinickendorf, 15 minutes distance from the center of the locality of Tegel. From the airport you can get into the center of Berlin with the bus lines TXL, 109 and X9 or into the center of Tegel by bus 128 (change at Kurt-Schumacher Platz to U6 to Alt-Tegel). From the center of Berlin take the U-Bahn line 6 to Alt-Tegel, or the S-Bahn line 25 to station Tegel if you want to get into the center of Tegel. U-Bahn line 8 and S-Bahn lines 1 and 25 go through Reinickendorf, main stations are Alt-Reinickendorf (S 25) and Rathaus Reinickendorf (U8).

[edit][add listing] See

• Schloss Tegel: (Adelheidallee 17-21) A remarkable medium sized classicistical castle by the famous K.F. Schinkel built 1820 to 1824, also called "Humboldtschlösschen", because Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt (and their family) lived here once. At the moment no visits possible because of renovation.
• Dicke Marie (oldest tree of Berlin): Not far away from Schloss Tegel (at the "grosse Malche") you can take a look at the oldest plant in Berlin, an oak which is growing there since about 1192 (so it's actually older than Berlin itself).
• IBA-Bauten at Tegeler Hafen (U-Bahn station Alt-Tegel) During the International Building Exhibition 1984 to 1988 a bunch of remarkable buildings were set around the old Tegeler Hafen. Architectural diverse, most important for sure the Phosphateliminierungsanlage (Gustav Peichl). Also some buildings by Charles Moore.
• Borsigwerke and Borsigturm Ex-industrial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century, nice clinker-architecture and the first (mini) highraiser of Berlin, the Borsigturm, 65 m high, built 1922-24. The area houses now offices, a shopping mall and some places for entertainment. Get out at station Borsigwerke (U6).
• Lübars One of the most authentical and oldest villages (1247) in the outskirts of Berlin, it looks like some hundred years ago. Take S-Bahn 1 to Waidmannslust and then bus 222 to Alt-Lübars.

• Swimming, Watersports and boat trips on one of the biggest Berlin lakes, the Tegeler See.

[edit][add listing] Buy

• There is a nice shopping mall located in Tegel, called Borsighallen. It's a typical medium sized Berlin mall with every shop you'll need. Nice architecture because it's located in modernized ex-industrial halls. Additionally there is a cinema and other entertainment stuff.
