Murellenberge, Murellenschlucht und Schanzenwald, Hill group in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.
The Murellenberge form a hill group with heights reaching 62 meters in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and include dry grasslands and wooded areas. The protected reserve spans several connected sections with different landscape types and walking routes.
The hilly landscape formed during the Weichselian glaciation and still shapes the terrain today. In the 20th century, these areas served as training grounds for military and police forces over several decades.
The name Murellenschlucht comes from a family that once lived in the area. Today, visitors use the woodlands and grasslands for walks, finding a quiet retreat within the urban surroundings.
Access is available from several entry points, especially convenient from the Ruhleben district nearby. The walking paths are easy to follow and pass through different landscape sections of the reserve.
This location features 104 traffic mirrors installed as a memorial to victims executed here during the Nazi period. This installation makes a dark past visible and invites visitors to pause and reflect.
