Stralau is one of the oldest settlement areas in the Berlin area. Over the course of centuries, siltation created a land connection downstream from the island on the northwestern side, thus creating a peninsula.

Halbinsel Stralau mit Dorfkirche
Formerly inhabited by fishermen who lived off the abundance of fish from the Spree, the peninsula has been a destination for Berliners since the 17th century. Industrialization further changed the face of the peninsula into an industrial location.
From 1990 onwards the factories were shut down and Stralau became a sought-after residential area. However, the island has not lost its recreational quality.
This year, a number of milestone anniversaries remind us of the eventful history associated with Berlin:
1244 - 780 years ago, the name Stralau (also spelled Strahlow, Stralo or Stralow) first appeared as the proper name of a knightly family.
1464 - 460 years ago, the completion of the village church and the church tower is documented with the words "Anno 1464. The church in Strahlo was built and the tower was made under Pontifice Pio II anno Eius VI."
1574 - 450 years ago, Elector Johann Georg issued the first fishing regulations, which regulate fishing on navigable rivers, as a grace period. After that, “big fishing”, i.e. fishing with nets, was only allowed to begin on August 24th. The fishing grace period began at Easter so that fish stocks can be secured. It was only from this point onwards that the fishermen of Stralau were able to fully pursue their trade.
1824 – 200 years ago the inauguration of the new church tower by Friedrich Wilhelm Langerhans was celebrated.
1899 - 125 years ago in December, the first tram ran through the tunnel from Stralau to Treptow and then on to Köpenick.
