Berlin: the glories of Köpenick
Köpenick is a borough in the south-east of Berlin. It achieved fame in 1906 when a shoemaker called Wilhelm Voight masqueraded as a military commander and took over the town hall. The Kaiser pardoned him and he's since become a German folk hero. A statue of Voight now stands outside the Rathaus.
Köpenick's other claim to fame is its lovely baroque castle. Now a museum devoted to decorative arts, it has been beautifully refurbished inside and out.
