Details About Spandau

Lying to the west and bordering Brandenburg, Spandau feels almost like a different city even if it has been part of Berlin since 1920. Whereas most parts of Berlin feature Wilhelminian or modern architecture, Spandau's old town reaches further back into the past. Its Nikolai church, built in the gothic style, dates back to about 1200, as do some of the oldest parts of the fortress. The old town has many restaurants and excellent shopping.
