Mariendorf, Residential locality in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Germany
Description
Mariendorf is a residential neighborhood in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district in southern Berlin with a mix of single-family homes and apartment buildings. The area is broken up by several parks and offers schools, shops, and services for daily needs.
History
The place was first documented as a village in 1348 and grew slowly over the centuries. Early in the 20th century, urban development accelerated until it was absorbed into Berlin's city limits in 1920.
Culture
