from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spree flows into the Havel: the Spree on the left, the Ruhleben Altarm on the right, and Sophienwerder in between.
Sophienwerderweg

Sophie Werder is a peninsula just above the mouth of the Spree in the Havel in the district Haselhorst of Spandau in Berlin .

The name Sophienwerder has existed since 1914 and probably goes back to the name of the wife or daughter of a previous landowner. At that time, Sophienwerder referred to a swampy area to the right of the Spree between the Grützmachergraben and the western citadel moat. In the course of the canalization of the Unterspree between 1883 and 1891, the course of the river in the area of ​​Sophienwerder was also changed. Today's Sophienwerder peninsula was created during the construction of another 1.5 kilometer long Spree cut, which was supposed to replace the previous course of the river, which was unfavorable for shipping. The piercing has been available to shipping since December 3, 1953. Construction work, which began in 1938, was interrupted during World War II.

The peninsula is about 1100 meters long and lies on the left bank between the Ruhleben oxbow lake and the Spree. It is largely used for commercial purposes, including a plant belonging to the building materials manufacturer Cemex . The Spandau outskirts of the Berlin Waterways and Shipping Office manages the city's western port from here . The peninsula is accessed via the Sophienwerderweg. There are two boulders protected as natural monuments on the site of the Sophienwerder building yard .
