The Luisenstadt Kanal in the districts Berlin-Kreuzberg and Berlin-Mitte was opened in 1852 as a waterway, which connected the Landwehr Kanal with the river Spree. In 1926, it was partly filled in with soil and redesigned into a garden. During the time of the Berlin Wall, 1961 until 1989, the border between East and West Berlin ran along the northern part of the canal. Since 1991, the garden has been reconstructed and in the spring of 2007 the newly designed pool opened.

The Obersee emerged in 1895 as a water storage for the Löwenbrauerei [brewery] located at Berliner Straße. There was no digging necessary as the area previously was a natural depression. After the turn of the century the second residential colony of Hohenschönhausen was established around the area. Today the area of the lake is completely enclosed.
