Lübars

Lübars is a rural settlement in Berlin's Reinickendorf district that stands apart from the modern city through active farmland and agricultural properties. The landscape consists of meadows, fields, and scattered farms that maintain the area's countryside feel despite its urban surroundings.

The settlement originated around 1230 during the German eastward expansion movement as a green-village type of community with a central open space. First written records date to 1247, with the name Lubars remaining unchanged since then.

The village church with its baroque style shapes the center of Lübars and reveals the form of a traditional village core. Around this religious focal point, farms and residences have survived, maintaining the area's rural character.

Bus lines 122 and 222 link Lübars to Waidmannslust and Tegel train stations as well as the U-Bahn access point at Alt-Tegel. When arriving by car, parking is available in the area, and the countryside can be explored comfortably on foot using the country roads and paths.

The Lübars recreation park was built on a former landfill site and now offers walking trails with viewpoints over the northern Berlin landscape. Visitors can look out from the hill's height across the urban area and beyond to the surrounding fields.
