Britz

The Britz neighborhood extends through residential areas with traditional German houses, modern developments, and public parks at 44 meters elevation.

The original farming settlement of Britz, first documented in 1273, transformed into part of Greater Berlin following the administrative reorganization in 1920.

The Hufeisensiedlung housing estate in Britz, constructed between 1925 and 1933, represents a UNESCO World Heritage site of modernist architecture.

The U7 subway line connects Britz with central Berlin, while numerous bus routes provide transportation throughout the residential and commercial areas.

The Britz windmill from 1866 maintains operational status, offering training programs for future millers to preserve traditional milling techniques.
