Rudow

Rudow is a residential district in southern Berlin with varied soil types from sand and clay moraines. The area spreads across about 38 meters elevation and mixes green spaces with dense buildings from different phases of urban development.

The district was first mentioned in 1373 as a rural settlement and initially consisted of about 64 farms. With the administrative reform of 1920, it became part of Greater Berlin and experienced rapid growth afterward.

The old village church with its fieldstone walls shapes the local identity and reflects the area's medieval roots. It stands today among modern residential blocks, showing how the historical settlement expanded over time.

The U7 subway line connects the district to central Berlin via two stations, making it easy to reach other parts of the city. The A113 motorway provides direct access for drivers heading to neighboring areas.

The Rudower Höhe is a hill about 70 meters high, built from rubble after World War II. Today it attracts people for sledding and winter sports, creating a green space within the built-up area.
