Grunewald

Grunewald is a residential locality in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, western Berlin, Germany, known for its mix of woodland and villa-lined streets. Wide avenues connect the housing areas with several small bodies of water, while tree-covered paths wind through the neighborhood.

The territory served as hunting grounds for local rulers until the late 19th century when it opened for residential building. Over the following decades, private estates and sports facilities shaped its present character.

This part of western Berlin developed during the late 1800s as a retreat where well-to-do families built villas surrounded by gardens. The quiet streets and proximity to woods still define daily life here, where residents value privacy and green surroundings.

The S7 train stops at the local station and runs regularly toward central Berlin. Visitors heading to the woods or waterside spots will find access points along the main roads.

Four connected lakes lie within the wooded section and can be reached on foot through pine and mixed forest trails. Schlachtensee, Krumme Lanke, Grunewaldsee and Hundekehlesee each offer different shorelines and quiet corners away from the residential streets.
