Wilmersdorf

The neighborhood covers a flat landscape at 39 meters above sea level, featuring tree-lined streets and a mixture of residential buildings and commercial establishments.

Wilmersdorf was first documented in 1293 as Wilmerstorff and developed into an affluent residential area during the 1850s before joining Greater Berlin in 1920.

The district holds Germany's first mosque, constructed in 1923, and the new synagogue built in 2007 represents the restoration of the Jewish community.

The locality connects to central Berlin through multiple public transportation options, including several historic subway stations along the U3 line from the German Empire period.

The memorial at Track 17 of Berlin-Grunewald Station stands as a testament to the Jewish residents who were deported during the National Socialist period.
