Information AboutZehlendorf, Berlin |
|
Zehlendorf is the southwestern-most district in Berlin . As of 2001 Zehlendorf was merged with Steglitz to form the new Borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf . Zehlendorf contains some of the most wonderful natural settings in Berlin, including the Schlachtensee and Nikolassee. Additionally, it has many wonderful residential neighborhoods, some with Cobblestone streets and buildings that are over 100 years old. There is easy access to the middle of Berlin via road and S-Bahn . The S1 line makes 3 stops in Zehlendorf and runs right through Unter Den Linden , where the Brandenburg Gate is located. The newer portion of the borough of Zehlendorf developed around extended U-Bahn service in the first third of the 20th Century. It may be reached via the U3 line. Many favorite walking trips are available in and around Zehlendorf. Popular destinations include the Grunewald trails north from the Onkel Toms Hütte U-Bahn station and neighborhood shopping center, the walk from Krumme Lanke U-Bahn station to the lake of the same name, and the cross-Zehlendorf walk from the end of the U-Bahn at Krumme Lanke to the S-Bahn station in the center of old Zehlendorf. When American forces occupied Berlin, and later were stationed in Berlin during the Cold War , Zehlendorf was the area where most of those forces were centered. The American Consulate is still located in Zehlendorf. The exclave of Steinstücken , which belonged to Zehlendorf, was a curiosity during the cold war. EXTERNAL LINKS |
