Berlin-Plötzensee, Urban district in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany

Plötzensee district extends between the Berlin-Spandauer shipping canal and Friedrich-Olbricht-Damm, including commercial areas and garden allotments in the northern section.

The former manor district of Plötzensee became part of Berlin in 1920, with a large prison facility constructed between 1868 and 1879 to accommodate 1500 inmates.

The Memorial Site Plötzensee and Maria Regina Martyrum Memorial Church form part of the Memory Region Charlottenburg-Nord, connected through the Park of Remembrance.

The area features three independent correctional facilities: Plötzensee Prison, Charlottenburg Prison, and Berlin Youth Detention Center, along with industrial zones and residential neighborhoods.

At Paul-Hertz-Settlement, the Plötzensee Community Center displays the remarkable image cycle Plötzenseer Totentanz created by artist Alfred Hrdlicka.
