History
Falkensee was formed in 1923 through the merger of Falkenhagen and Seegefeld. Its name comes from Falkenhagen and Seegefeld.
During World War II, the Demag-Panzerwerke subcamp of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp was located here.
The subcamp was built in 1943 on the eastern outskirts of the town, on a site originally built in 1938 to house 650 railway workers. Up to 2,500 prisoners, mostly foreign, were interned there. They performed forced labor in the workshops of the German Reichsbahn and the DEMAG tank factory in Albrechtshof. Because the prisoners had learned of the murders during the death march of prisoners from the Lieberose subcamp to Sachsenhausen, they refused to comply with the order to evacuate on April 20, 1945. After the guards fled, the camp was liberated by arriving Soviet troops.
In November, 1945, the city issued six postage stamps of its own depicting a dove of peace. A memorial to the victims is located on the eastern edge of the town near the border with Spandau.
The municipality shared its borders with the former West Berlin and so, between 1961 and 1990, it was separated from it by the Berlin Wall.

More about Falkensee
Geography
Falkensee is located on the northwestern edge of Berlin, in the western part of the Warsaw-Berlin glacial valley and in the Zehdenick-Spandau Havel lowlands. To the north, Falkensee borders Schönwalde, to the west Brieselang, and to the south Dallgow-Döberitz. To the east, it borders the districts of Falkenhagener Feld and Staaken, which belong to Berlin-Spandau.
The development of Falkensee merges seamlessly into that of Berlin-Spandau to the east and Dallgow-Döberitz to the south. The largest body of water, the Falkenhagener See, is in the north of the city. Scheinwerferberg, in the north of the town, is a young geomorphological inland dune that was formed at the end of the Weichselian glaciation, and is 16 m (52 ft) high, 50 m (160 ft) above sea level. It is named after the anti-aircraft searchlights that were installed during World War II as part of the Berlin air defences.
