The island of Kälberwerder or simply the Kälberwerder is an island of around 5000 m² in the Havel . It belongs to the Berlin district of Berlin-Wannsee . The island is owned by the rowing club at Wannsee . The island is located in the Unterhavel district of Berlin, just under 400 meters northeast of the Pfaueninsel . Kälberwerder was bought in 1909 by Albert Thiemt, a member of the rowing club at Wannsee; he first made them available to the club free of charge and bequeathed them to the rowing club at Wannsee in 1926. In honor of the two Olympic champions ( 1936 and 2004 ), an oak was planted on each island (1936 the Olympic oak that was awarded at the time ) and bronze plaques were set up.
Kälberwerder - including the immediately surrounding lake area - initially belonged to the former rural community of Cladow and from 1920 to the Berlin district of Kladow . From 1938 it belonged to the then Zehlendorf district and since 2001 to the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district .
