Lankwitz

Lankwitz is a residential district in southwestern Berlin that combines houses, gardens, and parks throughout its area. The neighborhood has a quiet character with plenty of green spaces and an extended network of streets and squares that shape daily life.

The area was first mentioned in 1239 as Lancovica and remained independent for centuries. In 1920, it lost this status when it was incorporated into the expanding city of Berlin.

The Dreifaltigkeitskirche shapes the local character and reflects the spiritual traditions that have defined this district. You can see how religious life remains woven into the community's everyday rhythm.

Several bus lines and an S-Bahn station connect this district easily to the rest of Berlin. Within the area, you can find schools, shops, and the Campus Lankwitz of the Free University.

Berliner Synchron, a major German dubbing company, was based here from 1949 until 2017. For decades, the company played an important role in creating German versions of films for local audiences.
