history

The place name Wendenschloss (also spelled Wendenschloß ), formerly Eichhorn , has existed since 1905 and was transferred from the Wendenschloß inn and Wendenschlößchen to the emerging colony. The place name book for Brandenburg and Berlin traces the name back to the West Slavic Wends . Because the inn was located on the Dahme, which at that time was also known as the Wendish Spree . In addition, before the German settlement in the east , Köpenick was inhabited by Slavs who were generally referred to as Wenden around 1900.

Beach with an edge to the water

The Wendenschloss seaside resort was opened as a municipal pool in 1915 (other information: 1914). As was common at the time, it consisted of a women's and men's bath. The main building, the middle section, was 56 m long and 3.80 m deep. The wing structures on the left and right were 7 m × 10.5 m and each had 15 lockable individual cells, 24 individual cupboards, a mass changing room and toilet facilities. All three buildings were made of wood with planed board cladding. At that time, the beach was only around 60 m long and 4 m wide.

“The idyllic location with a connection to the Wendenschloß district in the middle of the forest and the facilities of the bath, which were comfortable at the time, were a special attraction. The difficulty of getting to the bath prevented mass traffic. This situation changed over the course of the twenties. In 1928 the magistrate made funds available to expand the baths so that a wing of about 20 m length could be added on each side as a bath for women or men. The middle could now be used as a family bathroom. "

During the Second World War , the bath and its historical buildings were destroyed by a bomb. The reconstruction took place with comparatively unadorned concrete buildings. In addition, the natural transition between water and sand was bordered with a concrete edge - according to Kristine Jaath, a typical GDR construction method in the seaside resorts of East Berlin , which was introduced around 1973 at the time of the Berlin World Festival of Youth and Students . The water is thigh-high under the concrete edge. From the edge you can slide into the water while sitting or you can descend via two three-step bathing ladders.
