Segel-Klub Nixe e.V. is an active sailing club on the south-eastern shore of Lake Tegel in Berlin's Reinickendorf district. The clubhouse sits about six metres above the water and overlooks the lake, shoreline and islands; facilities include jetties, a crane pier, a harbour basin and berths. With around 125 members, Nixe is among the larger of the 23 sailing clubs on Lake Tegel and maintains a busy racing programme with Friday and Sunday races plus the Ice-Bucket Challenge. The youth section sails Optimists, Teeny, 420er, Pirat, Flying Cruiser and Randmeerjolle; adults are invited to training on Wednesdays and Fridays.

History
Segel-Klub Nixe e.V. is based on the south-eastern shore of Lake Tegel in northern Berlin. Lake Tegel is an approximately four-kilometre-long and 1.5-kilometre-wide side bay of the Upper Havel from Spandau to Tegel; about 23 clubs sail there, and with roughly 125 members Nixe is among the larger ones. Club life is shaped by regular Friday races, Südufer club races, the winter Ice-Bucket Challenge and the Berlin Varianta championship with Randmeerjolle ranking events. In 2020 the crane pier decking was renewed, the harbour basin was cleaned with help from the Berliner Wasserratten, and electrical lines were excavated in a work party; the youth room and kitchen were cleared and organised. That same year a donated defibrillator was installed at the outer clubhouse entrance for club and neighbouring clubs. Facade work followed in 2021. In 2025 members renovated the centre jetty and joined World Cleanup Day along Bernauer Straße to the waterworks. At the 2019 24-hour race of Club Nautique Francais de Tegel the Nixe team finished third on Randmeerjolle Swantje. The regatta archive documents results back into the 2000s and shows continuous sporting activity on Lake Tegel.
