Reinickendorf

Reinickendorf is an administrative district in northern Berlin comprising several neighborhoods with distinct characters and functions. The district balances residential areas, commercial zones, and open spaces including lakes and parks scattered throughout its expanse.

The district was created in 1920 through the merger of several communities and took its name from an early medieval settlement. Following its formation, the area rapidly developed into a residential zone featuring modern housing estates.

The Gartenstadt Frohnau displays distinctive residential architecture with spacious villas and gardens that developed from 1908 based on English garden city principles. Walking through the neighborhood, you notice the wide tree-lined streets and the relaxed, orderly layout that still shapes how people live there.

The district is accessible by multiple public transit lines connecting to central Berlin, with regular service throughout the day. The relatively flat terrain makes it easy to explore by bicycle, with numerous parks and green paths linking the neighborhoods.

Tegel Airport, which served as one of Berlin's main airports for decades, was located within the district and shaped its development. The site is now being transformed into new neighborhoods and green spaces.
