alancollins Says: I came upon this unusual building and restaurant on route to a different location. Work to build the 33 metre tall water tower started in 1910 and it supplied the town with water until 1965. It fell into a state of disrepair until funds became available in 1990 and was...

alancollins Says: One of the main reasons for going to Königs Wusterhausen was to visit the palace which is one of the main tourist attractions in the area. The palace has none of the grandeur of the palaces at Potsdam but I will explain the reasons why later. You have no choice but to go on...

Well, it's a small town and if Königs Wusterhausen has something like a "shopping street", then it would be the Bahnhofstraße. It's nothing spectacular, you'll find the normal things like photo shops, restaurants, jewellery shops, book shop, travel agency, music shop, a little department store etc

You'll find the bank "Sparkasse Dahme-Spreewald" at this address:
Bahnhofstr. 12
15711 Königs-Wusterhausen
Opening times:
Mo, Wed, Fri: 09.00-16.00
Tue, Thu: 09.00-18.00
ATM: 24/7
Why I tell you stuff like opening times of a bank and where you will find it? Well, in some cities I spent ages to find one and not all have open all day. If I would have had some more detailed infos before, it would have spared me some trouble and saved time.
TIP: If you plan to get yourself some money there out of the opening times, make at least sure that no one sees you. I know it's easier said than done, but try to behave as normal as possible :P

Favorite thing: *School for the Blind and Visually handicapped of the State Brandenburg*
I wasn't sure where to add this, but I like the architecture of this building and it's located right next to my old Highschool. But one thing is sure, the School for the Blind is much nicer to look at, than my own boring old school *g*
In 1889 the emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of this school. It was finished in 1901. The biggest part of the money was given by Herman Schmidt and because of this fact today the building has his name. At the beginning approx. 100 blind people attended this school and a lot of them even lived there. Wilhelm II often visited the school and gave much money for decorating the school with magnificent pictures and mosaics of Christian people. From 1933 till 1952 it was used for other things. During the war it was used as military hospital, later for administration offices and fro 1951 on again as School for the Blind.
Address:
Luckenwalder Str. 64
15711 Königs Wusterhausen
