Wasserturm and Pumpstation Tour – Cycling Tour to Grunewald and Spandau
Sun, Sep 6, 12:30 PM**Wasserturm and Pumpstation Tour – Cycling Tour to Grunewald and Spandau** **Time:** 15:00 **Theme:** Cycle Tour + Water Infrastructure + Industrial Heritage + Nature **Start:** Water Tower Prenzlauer Berg (just opposite side of street from Umani restaurant) **Distance:** 25–30 km **Suggested contribution:** €5 Join me for a cycling journey from the centre of Berlin through **Charlottenburg, the Grunewald and along the Havel**, exploring the water infrastructure of Berlin. This is a tour about **water**: where Berlin got it, how it was pumped, stored and cleaned, and how the infrastructure built to supply a rapidly growing city is still visible today. We'll start at the best known Wasserturm in PBerg then tour past several others on our way to the the olderest surviving pumpstation in the city: the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**, now home to the Ökowerk Nature Conservation Centre. We'll explore the remarkable surviving machinery and buildings of Berlin's oldest complete surviving waterworks, before taking a break at the nearby beer garden. From there we'll continue north through the Grunewald, taking in the Grunewald turm and then along the Havel, eventually reaching Wansee. **The Tour** Berlin's growth in the nineteenth century created a huge problem: **how do you supply a rapidly expanding city with clean water?** Our route follows the answer. Starting in central Berlin, we'll cycle west towards Charlottenburg, where the development of wealthy new neighbourhoods created an urgent demand for a reliable water supply. Along the way we'll see the **Wasserturm Berlin** and make our way towards Grunewald and the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**. Built between 1871 and 1873, the waterworks originally supplied the new villa district of Westend. It was later expanded and became part of the municipal water system, eventually supplying large parts of southern Berlin. The machinery, filter halls, water tanks and other elements of the original complex have survived remarkably well. Today the site is the **Ökowerk Nature Conservation Centre**, creating a fascinating meeting point between industrial heritage and nature. We'll take some time here to explore the site and have a drink at the nearby beer garden before continuing our ride. From the Grunewald we'll head towards the Havel, following the landscape north towards Wansee. Along the way we'll see how Berlin's natural landscape has been shaped by infrastructure—waterworks, reservoirs, canals, roads and energy systems—while still remaining one of the city's great recreational spaces. We'll finish in **Wansee**, where you can either take the train home or, if you're feeling energetic, continue cycling back into central Berlin. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€5** to organise the tour and share my knowledge. **Disclaimer:** Please note that all participants attend as group members, not as customers, and are responsible for their own safety. Please read the group description in full for an explanation of the terms and liabilities. **The Cycling** This is a relaxed sightseeing ride rather than a sporting event. 🚲 We'll cover around **25–30 kilometres**, with frequent stops for stories, photographs, drinks and discussion. The route includes some unpaved paths through the Grunewald, so a reasonable bicycle suitable for light gravel or forest paths is recommended. Anyone who is comfortable cycling around Berlin and is happy with a relaxed pace should be fine to join. **What to Bring** 🚲 A bike suitable for some unpaved paths 💶 Cash for drinks or snacks 🌧️ Waterproofs (just in case!) ☀️ Suncream 🥪 Water and snacks 😊 Curiosity and a sense of adventure **Highlights** 💧 Discover how Berlin developed the infrastructure needed to supply a rapidly growing city with clean water 🏰 See the spectacular **Charlottenburg/Westend water towers**, built to supply the expanding city and its new suburbs 🏭 Explore the hidden industrial infrastructure behind Berlin's development 🌳 Cycle from central Berlin through Charlottenburg and into the forests of the Grunewald 💦 Visit the historic **Wasserwerk Teufelssee**, Berlin's oldest surviving complete waterworks ⚙️ Discover the original pumping machinery, filter buildings and water-storage infrastructure preserved at the Ökowerk 🍺 Take a break at the **Jungfernheide Wasserturm** and enjoy a drink surrounded by the park 🌊 Follow the Havel and discover how Berlin's waterways shaped the city's infrastructure and expansion 🏙️ See how apparently natural landscapes are actually deeply connected to the history of the modern city 📖 Hear the stories of engineers, entrepreneurs and workers who built the systems that kept Berlin running 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities combining industrial heritage, architecture, forest and water 🚲 Finish in Wansee and choose whether to take the train home or cycle back into town I estimate the cycle tour will take around **3 hours**, including the stops. Hope to see you there! **Simon**

Dieses Event entsteht in bewährter Zusammenarbeit mit [Karoline Rütter | Inspiring Minds](https://inspiring-minds.de/?utm_source=luma) und ist zugleich Teil der Reihe „Help me think about this“.

Erfahre mehr in den FAQs unten oder [schreib uns gerne eine Mail](mailto:info@diskussions-experiment.de), wenn du Fragen hast! ## FAQ ***Was kann ich von dem Event erwarten?*** Jede Veranstaltung ist ein Experiment, daher ist es schwierig, genau vorherzusagen, wie sie verlaufen oder sich anfühlen wird. Wir versuchen in jedem Event eine entspannte und inspirierende Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der wir verschiedene Aspekte und Perspektiven des Themas gemeinsam erkunden. Zu Beginn der Diskussion werden wir spezielle Spielregeln einführen, die das Gespräch langsamer, aber auch fokussierter und klarer machen sollen. ***Für wen ist dieses Event gedacht?*** Diese Veranstaltung richtet sich an alle, die sich für das Thema und/oder das Projekt interessieren. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich Menschen jeden Alters, jeder Identität und jeder Herkunft wohl fühlen. Du musst nichts vorbereiten, keine starke Meinung haben und auch nicht extrovertiert sein, um teilzunehmen. ***Muss ich aktiv mitdiskutieren, oder kann ich auch nur zuhören?*** Es ist völlig in Ordnung, nur zuzuhören. Du kannst jederzeit selbst entscheiden, wie aktiv du sein möchtest, und wirst, abgesehen von einer kurzen Namensrunde, nicht aufgefordert, etwas zu sagen. Möglicherweise gibt es jedoch Kleingruppen-Phasen, d. h. kurze Abschnitte, in denen alle Teilnehmer\*innen in Gruppen von 2-3 Personen diskutieren. Du musst daran nicht teilnehmen, sondern kannst die Zeit auch für eine Pause nutzen. ***Wie lange dauert die Veranstaltung?*** Die Veranstaltung dauert zwischen 1,5 und 2 Stunden. ***Ist der Veranstaltungsort rollstuhlgerecht?*** Die Veranstaltung ist mit dem Rollstuhl zugänglich, aber es gibt leider keine rollstuhlgerechten Toiletten. ***Wer ist Gilda Sahebi*** Gilda Sahebi ist ausgebildete Ärztin und studierte Politikwissenschaftlerin. Ihr journalistisches Volontariat absolvierte sie beim Bayerischen Rundfunk, als freie Journalistin arbeitet sie mit den Schwerpunkten Antisemitismus und Rassismus, Frauenrechte, Naher Osten und Wissenschaft.

Eine Analyse deutscher Debatten“ sowie „Verbinden statt spalten - Eine Antwort auf die Politik der Polarisierung“ erschienen 2023, 2024 und 2025 beim S. Fischer Verlag. ***Wer ist Karoline Rütter*** Karoline Rütter betreibt seit über 10 Jahren einen privaten Salon zu relevanten Fragen aus Gesellschaft, Kultur, Philosophie und Naturwissenschaften. Gleichzeitig berät sie Unternehmen und Institutionen strategisch in den Feldern Marke, Innovation, User/Customer Experience und Transformation. In Zusammenarbeit mit the Dive hat Karo kürzlich das Whitepaper „Die KI-Transformation verantwortungsvoll gestalten“ veröffentlicht. Die Veranstaltung mit Gilda Sahebi ist bereits das 5. Event, das Karo in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Diskussions-Experiment veranstaltet. ***Was ist das "Diskussions Experiment"?*** Das Diskussionsexperiment ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe, in deren Rahmen wir kontinuierlich Methoden für sinnvolle, inspirierende und entspannte Gruppengespräche testen. Unter anderem experimentieren wir mit Techniken, die Diskussionen verlangsamen, Klarheit fördern und die Teilnehmenden dabei unterstützen, besser Verstanden zu werden. Weitere Informationen findest du auf unserer [Website](https://diskussions-experiment.de/ "https://diskussions-experiment.de/"). Dieses Projekt wird von Maria Scholze und Igor Don organisiert.
