Charlottenburg, Residential district in western Berlin, Germany

Charlottenburg spans across both sides of the Spree River, featuring wide boulevards, green spaces, and a mixture of historical buildings and modern structures.

The district emerged from a small village named Lietzow in 1705 when Sophia Charlotte of Hanover received the land and established Lützenburg Castle.

The district contains multiple theaters, museums, and performance venues, including the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Schiller Theater on Bismarckstraße.

The area connects to central Berlin through multiple U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations, with the main transport hub at Zoologischer Garten serving regional and long-distance trains.

The district maintains numerous pre-war buildings that survived World War II, presenting an architectural collection from different periods of German history.
