Wannsee, Lakeside locality in Berlin, Germany.

The locality features two connected lakes, the Großer Wannsee covering 2.7 square kilometers and the Kleiner Wannsee, separated by the Wannsee Bridge.

In January 1942, senior Nazi officials gathered at the Wannsee Villa to coordinate the systematic deportation and murder of European Jews.

The Max Liebermann Villa preserves the residence and garden of the German painter, displaying his works and providing insights into Berlin's art history.

Visitors can reach Wannsee through S-Bahn lines S1 and S7, with additional connections to regional trains and ferry services across the lakes.

The Strandbad Wannsee contains a 1,275-meter stretch of sandy beach, making it one of the longest inland beach areas in Europe.
