A local would say...

A fishing village that somehow survived everything Berlin threw at it — cobblestones, low cottages, and a view across the water to a baroque palace.

A former fishing village visible across a small bay from Köpenick's baroque Schloss, with cobbled lanes and nicely restored but modest cottages of the fisherfolk. A stroll through Kietz provides a tranquil diversion from the main Altstadt — a solar-powered boat rental station operates at the bay. One of the few corners of Berlin that feels genuinely village-like.
