Berlin’s Historic Steglitz Pier Still Connects the City by Water After 119 Years

Steglitz Landing Pier, nestled along the Teltow Canal behind Bäkepark, has served Berliners since 1905. Operated by the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office depot, the historic site offers boat tours to key landmarks and Lake Wannsee. Visitors can find it near Steglitz Town Hall and Lankwitz S-Bahn station, though parking remains limited in the area.

The pier opened in 1905 as a public transport hub for the city. Over time, it became a starting point for sightseeing trips along the Spree and westward to Wannsee. Today, the district office 365 manages its operations, ensuring regular tours for locals and tourists alike.

Steglitz Landing Pier continues to offer a peaceful departure point for boat tours over a century after its opening. Its position near Bäkepark and the Botanical Garden adds to its appeal, though visitors must plan for limited parking. The district office maintains the site as both a historic landmark and a functional transport link.
