Zickenplatz (Goat Square) Teltow

Highlight • Monument

A bronze Zicke was erected here because the Teltowers affectionately call this place the "Zickenplatz". The reason for this is not known.

Beautiful stretch of path along the Teltow Canal. There are always little views of the water.

The expanded metal fence, a relic of the former border, has grown in quite a bit but is still recognizable. Showcase on the garden fence with photos from 1989 - only then was the vegetation allowed to grow again

Klaus Garten Memorial Stele

Highlight • Monument

On August 17, 1965, he went to Teltow to search for an accident vehicle there. When there was no chance of success, Klaus Garten decided to leave the GDR. He went to the Teltow district Seehof, whom he knew from his army time. There he climbed about 21 clock over the rear fence of the border installations. He was discovered by a border guard 200 meters away, who fired three shots at the fugitive and hit him in the thigh. A group of border guards found him later lying in the motor-trench of the border. In order to prevent a discovery by West Berlin policemen present, they did not take Klaus Garten to a hospital, but also hid themselves. At around 21.50, they transported him wrapped in a tarpaulin, and thus not visible to West Berliners. Finally, they brought the provisionally connected to the one-hour detention hospital of the Ministry of State Security in Hohenschönhausen. There he succumbed to his injuries due to the high blood loss the next day.

"Remaining abutments of the former Fritz Schweitzer Bridge at kilometer 13.16 of the Teltow Canal. The road bridge in Berlin-Lichterfelde, sometimes also called the Wupper Bridge, led the Wupperstrasse from Schönow to Teltow until it was blown up by the German Wehrmacht at the end of World War II After the failure of a first attack in the Lichterfelde area, the 1st Ukrainian Front under Marshal Konew succeeded in building the first bridge over the canal at the Fritz Schweitzer Bridge on April 24, 1945; at noon the Soviet tanks reached Zehlendorf-Süd (... ).

July 17, 2022,vom Stadtrand Lichterfelde Süd zum Stadthafen Teltow
The weather kept what it promised. So, in the late afternoon, in bright sunshine, I got on my socks. At the city port of Teltow in the "Kleine Freiheit" there was, as always, a fish sandwich, a beer and a delicious ice cream for dessert 😋
