In 2,000 BC dense human settlements along the [[Spree (river)|Spree]] and [[Havel]] rivers gave rise to the [[Lusatian culture]].<ref>{{cite web | url= https://berlintouristinformation.com/berlin-geschichte | title= Die Geschichte Berlins: Zeittafel & Fakten | date= 11 May 2022 | access-date= 9 December 2023 | archive-date= 2 December 2023 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231202122923/https://berlintouristinformation.com/berlin-geschichte/ | url-status= live }}</ref> Starting around 500 BC Germanic tribes settled in a number of villages in the higher situated areas of today's Berlin.
