Dahlem, Academic district in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany
The district features residential areas with gardens, parks, research facilities, and multiple buildings of the Freie Universität Berlin spread across its territory.
The first written record of Dahlem dates to 1275, and in 1841 the Prussian state acquired the Dahlem estates for villa development.
Multiple museums enrich the district, including the Allied Museum, Brücke Museum, and Museum of European Cultures, presenting different aspects of German heritage.
The U3 line of Berlin's underground system connects Dahlem with central Berlin through several stations, complemented by regular bus services.
From 1945 to 1991, the Allied Kommandatura operated from Kaiserswerther Straße in Dahlem, serving as the central command for Allied forces.
