History

The locality was founded in 1375 with the name of Smekewitz. In 1920 it merged into the city of Berlin with the "Greater Berlin Act" and from 1949 to 1990 it was part of East Berlin

Overview

Located in south-eastern suburb of the city, Schmöckwitz represents the southernmost locality of Berlin, with its southernmost point at Rauchfangswerder, a little peninsula between the lakes of Zeuthener See (on Dahme river) and Großer Zug which represents, also with the lakes Krossinsee and Wernsdorfer See, the borders of Schmöckwitz with Brandenburg. The bordering municipalities are Gosen-Neu Zittau (in Oder-Spree district), Königs Wusterhausen (with the civil parishes of Wernsdorf and Ziegenhals), Eichwalde (also with Miersdorfer Werder) and Zeuthen; all of them in Dahme-Spreewald district. The bordering localities within Berlin are Müggelheim and Grünau. The first is separated by the lakes Seddinsee and Langer See, the second by a portion of the Berliner Stadtforst.

The zone of Schmöckwitzwerder is crossed by the Oder-Spree Canal. Some islets belong to the locality: Klein Rohrwall is on Langer See; Werderchen, Weidenwall (both in front of the village), Seddinwall, Klein Seddinwall, Nixenwall, Dommelwall and Berg on Seddinsee; Zeuthener Wall on Zeuthener See.
