Friedrichswerder is a neighborhood (Stadtviertel), situated in the Berliner locality (Ortsteil) of Mitte, part of the homonymous borough.

In the south the district borders on Neu-Kölln, in the west on Friedrichstadt.
The Eiserne Bridge, the Schlossbrücke, the Schleusen Bridge and the Jungfern Bridge lead to the eastern part of the Cölln district.
