View from Kaniswall over the Gosener meadows

The Kaniswall is a small wooded sand hill ( 41.2  m above sea level ) on the south-eastern outskirts of Berlin in the district of Müggelheim ( Treptow-Köpenick district ), in the middle of the Gosener meadows north of the Brandenburg municipality of Gosen-Neu Zittau . It is the southernmost branch of the Barnim and was formed in the Berlin glacial valley during the last Ice Age .

From around 1750 onwards, a flower family lived on the Kaniswall for several generations. The alleged namesake Kanis (mentioned by Fontane) did not exist. Fontane's "Fischer vom Kaniswall" is probably a Christian Rubin. Kaniswerder was first mentioned in a document in 1805. Four years earlier there was already a residential area there, known as an “establishment” at that time, which was founded in 1767 on an urban exclave. In 1858 it was owned by the city of Köpenick, where six people lived. In 1860 it consisted of a residential building and four farm buildings. In 1925 there were still seven people living there.

The place is known nationwide for the Berlin-Kaniswall weather station of the German Meteorological Service , at which the previous maximum temperature for Berlin was measured on August 7, 2015 at 38.9 ° C, as well as for the Kaniswall outdoor laboratory , an extracurricular "green learning place" for children , Teenagers and adults.
