Westend, Residential district in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany

The Westend locality stretches across the northern peak of the Teltow plateau, featuring a mix of mansions, modern apartments, and tree-lined streets around Theodor-Heuss-Platz.

Beginning as a mansion colony in 1866, Westend was named after London's West End and gained prominence after connecting to Berlin's Ringbahn railway system in 1877.

The Georg Kolbe Museum and Haus des Rundfunks by Hans Poelzig represent significant architectural achievements, displaying different periods of German design and artistic expression.

The area connects to central Berlin through multiple transportation options, including the S-Bahn at Westend station, U-Bahn lines, and direct access to the A100 motorway.

The neighborhood contains Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation from 1957, demonstrating innovative post-war residential architecture within the Interbau exhibition project.
