Surname

The former name of the area was Eichhorn , which was first mentioned in 1516 as Im Eichhorn according to a document contained in the Codex diplomaticus Brandenburgensis . At the end of the 1880s, the Wendenschloß or Wendenschlößchen inn was built on the site by the ferryman Wöse . The name of the restaurant was transferred to the emerging villa colony and was made official in 1905 by resolution of the Cöpenick magistrate . For the Brandenburg name researcher Gerhard Schlimpert it is certain that the name refers to the Slavic past of the Köpenick area, to the Wends . Although Köpenick was inhabited by the Sprewanen before the German settlement in the east , many West Slavic groups were subsumed under the name Wenden at the time it was named. In addition, the inn was located on the Langen See, a typical channel lake through which the Dahme flows. The Dahme was - even in the Köpenick section - after turning often referred to as "Wendish Spree", for example, in the then widely read Walks through the Mark Brandenburg by Theodor Fontane . This name interpretation also follows Reinhard E. Fischer in the place name book Brandenburg and Berlin.
