alancollins Says: Strausberg has an old city wall whose construction was started in 1254. The original length was 1600 metres and it was up to 6 metres in height. Also built into the wall were Wikhäuser which were defensive buildings which were later converted into houses. Some restoration...
alancollins Says: St. Mary's Church is the oldest and tallest building in Strausberg. It dates back to the 13th Century and is one of the oldest buildings in Brandenburg. It originally had a tall wooden tower but this was demolished in 1922. A monument to victims of the Holocaust was erected...
alancollins Says: I had already decided I would visit the Handelscentrum in Strausberg before I arrived. I thought it would make an interesting place to lunch and have a rest on my walk around the lake. The Handelscentrum is not pretentious like some shopping centres and could best be...
alancollins Says: The Wasserturm in Strausberg was constructed in 1910. It is located on the marienberg hill and is 35 metres tall and nearly 13 metres in diameter. It was built to increase the water pressure in the town. The water was pumped into the 400 cubic tank when it was quiet...
alancollins Says: One of the main reasons for going to Strausberg was to walk around the beautiful Straussee. Because it takes a while on the S-Bahn from central Berlin to Strausberg I allowed more time. You can of course half the distance by using the ferry but I decided I would walk all the...
Strausseefähre - The Straussee Ferry
alancollins Says: After 2 trips to Strausberg on cold November and March days I decided to visit in the summer instead, much more pleasant. I went down to the lake and saw that the electric ferry was operating. The ferry is operated by the local light railway/tram company and is numbered F39...
alancollins Says: It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and the area around the lake was scenic. Unfortunately the unique electric ferry was not running, but this may have been due to there being ice, which was still on the lake around the ferry. There is a laid out path around the lake for...

You catch the S5 to Strausberg Stadt, it is about a 45 minute journey from central Berlin. Check the timetable as the service is not as frequent as some of the other routes. As I discovered on my last visit, trains can sometimes be cancelled at short notice.

Handelscentrum is the name of a little mall in Strausberg which sits right hand of the exit of the autobahn, coming from Berlin into Strausberg. Also there's McDonald and Subway. Very easy to find parking spots. The mall is pretty neat, modest yet lovely with a couples of nice dining places such as an ice house and Asian eatery. The stores all are placed on groundfloor (beautiful bricks), no upper floors. There I happened to find a candles store with a very kind lady also offering from a selection of countless postcards.

1714 to 1763 Strausberg was a town of permanent military post, base to Brandenburg-Prussian companies. To learn about that part of history, I thought the link below to the Bundeswehr page would be interesting? Unfortunately no English translation provided.

Strausberg is a city surrounded by forests, fields, and lakes. It's an inviting area for doing family vacation or sporting activities. Not sure yet whether this lake has all over public entries? Now,...
Though it was a beautiful warm March day, warm enough to be in your shirt sleeves and it had been for several days there was still ice on the lake.
