Nikolassee

Nikolassee extends across an elevated area at 42 meters above sea level, featuring several water bodies including the Nikolassee lake and parts of Großer Wannsee.

The area developed from its foundation in 1901 as part of Düppel manor into a mansion district, leading to its incorporation into Berlin through the Greater Berlin Act of 1920.

The district maintains its character through residential architecture from the early 20th century, complemented by parks, waterways, and two notable islets: Schwanenwerder and Lindwerder.

The locality connects to central Berlin through S-Bahn lines S1 and S7, while the A115 motorway and federal highway B1 provide additional transportation options.

During the Cold War period, this area contained Checkpoint Bravo, a significant crossing point on the A115 motorway between West Berlin and East Germany.
