History
The colony of Friedrichsgnade was founded on May 29, 1753, by King Frederick II of Prussia.[2][3] Autonomous Prussian municipality of the former Niederbarnim district of the Province of Brandenburg until 1920, it merged into Berlin with the "Greater Berlin Act."[4] From 1949 to 1990, like the rest of the borough of Köpenick, it was part of East Berlin.
The ornithologist Jean Cabanis (1816–1906) died in Friedrichshagen.
Geography
Overview
Located in the south-eastern suburb of Berlin, Friedrichshagen borders with the Brandenburger municipalities of Hoppegarten (in Märkisch-Oderland district), and Schöneiche (in Oder-Spree).

The residential area is surrounded in north by a big portion of the Berliner Stadtforst (city forest), and in south by the river Müggelspree (tributary of the Spree), and by the western side of Müggelsee, the biggest lake in Berlin.
