Falkensee near Berlin at a glance
There was already a building boom around Falkensee in the 1920s and 1930s. At that time, small colonies such as Seegefeld Süd, Falkenhain and Neu-Finkenkrug emerged. However, the world wars and the subsequent construction of the Berlin Wall interrupted the development of the communities. It was only after the fall of the Wall that construction work could be resumed in the 1990s. The residential streets in the districts of Falkensee have grown steadily in recent years. Families who want to live quietly in close proximity to the city are moving into the apartment buildings, terraced houses and town villas that are being built. In addition, unlike in Berlin itself, there are undeveloped plots of land where you can realize your own ideas.
The town of Falkensee is geared towards children and young people. It is a young town that was only granted its town charter in 1961. Young families feel supported by the close-knit childcare network. In addition to elementary school, secondary schools and kindergartens, there are numerous childcare facilities and a wide range of childminders. But that’s not all: many people move to Falkensee when they retire because they want to live near their children and grandchildren. They buy a beautiful condominium in one of the new developments and benefit from the rich cultural landscape.
Falkensee was created in 1961 as a merger of the two municipalities of Seegefeld and Falkenhagen. The villages with their historic town centers can still be recognized today. The town is characterized by its lakes, ponds and forests. At the weekends, residents are drawn to the Spandauer Forst, the Ferbitzer Bruch or the Königswald with its Havel lakes.
Still Berlin or already Brandenburg? - The location of Falkensee
From a geographical perspective, Falkensee is an independent town that originally consisted of the villages of Seegefeld and Falkenhagen and is located in the federal state of Brandenburg. Over time, other settlements were added, including Falkenhain, Finkenkrug, Waldheim and Falkenhöh.
Even though Falkensee is an independent town, its development in the south and east merges directly into the housing estates of Berlin-Spandau and Dallgow-Döberitz.
The village core of the town has been retained, which is why it is very quiet to live in Falkensee. In addition to pretty detached and terraced houses, the area is characterized above all by large villa plots, meadows and pastures. Falkensee in the Havelland district is one of the most popular investment areas around Berlin. The tense situation on the Berlin real estate market also contributes to this.
Traffic & transport connections
Even though Falkensee is a quiet place to live and there are various corners that remind you of the village character of the town, you have excellent connections to Berlin’s local transport network. From Falkensee train station, for example, you can take the Regional Express line directly to BER airport. In the other direction, you can reach the Hanseatic city of Wismar, a popular vacation destination on the Baltic Sea, within a short time. The regional train line RB 14 takes you from Falkensee station to Berlin Central Station. The plan was to connect Falkensee to Berlin’s S-Bahn network. After careful consideration, however, this was abandoned for logistical reasons. However, the rail connection between Falkensee and Berlin is well developed, so that residents can take the regional train from Falkensee to Berlin or in the opposite direction.
The bus lines take you to the surrounding communities in Havelland in a short time. The villages and towns surrounding Berlin are well connected. Those who prefer to travel by private vehicle can use one of the three state roads that run through Falkensee. These are the L20, the L201 and the L202. The Brandenburg state roads take you to Potsdam, Nauen or Wustermark in no time at all.
