Where to stay in Heinersdorf
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Heinersdorf offers little in the way of hotels. The streets around the Dorfkirche Heinersdorf are given over to houses, gardens, and the quiet of a former village long since folded into the borough of Pankow. Hotel rooms in Heinersdorf are hard to come by.
Travellers usually stay closer to central Berlin and reach Heinersdorf by tram, coming out for the Park für heimatlose Skulpturen or the old water tower.
About Heinersdorf
What are the main landmarks in Heinersdorf?
Heinersdorf keeps a handful of landmarks. The Dorfkirche Heinersdorf marks the old village core, while the tall Heinersdorf water tower still rises over the surrounding rooftops as the locality's most prominent built landmark. Sculptures gather here too.
The Park für heimatlose Skulpturen collects displaced statuary into a small green setting, an unusual open-air gathering for so quiet a corner of Pankow.
What is the history of Heinersdorf?
Heinersdorf began as a farming village outside Berlin. The Dorfkirche Heinersdorf recalls the settlement's early centuries, when fields and a single church street made up the whole of the place, long before Pankow drew it into the growing city. The water tower came later.
As Berlin spread outward, the Heinersdorf water tower and new streets marked the turn from farming village to city locality.
