It’s not a short trip to Wannsee, especially with the city’s commuter rail system still lagging. From Schmargendorf, one must head north to Theodor-Heuss-Platz to catch the 218 bus toward Pfaueninsel, Peacock Island. It takes more or less an hour, along curved, wooded roads, before the lake comes into view. It’s serene, and beautiful–two descriptors which make Wannsee’s historical identity all the more troubling.
