An architectural icon inspired by the idyll of an English garden suburb

The Zinnowwald settlement is an urban landmark of great significance – far beyond Zehlendorf. Built according to the plans of architect Gustav Hochhaus between 1925 and 1928, the listed ensemble of 65 houses is among the most impressive testimonies of architectural Expressionism in Berlin. Inspired by the English garden suburb movement, the complex combines urban living with the character of a near-natural park landscape.

Defining the overall appearance are the warm red and yellow tones of the facades, as well as the strikingly contrasted white muntin windows. The 65 houses integrate into an old grove and are arranged in a loose, staggered layout over an area of approximately 26,250 square meters – partly extending into the adjacent green spaces. The generous loggias of the apartments open up to nature and create a privacy that is unrivaled in the Berlin cityscape.

Where the city shows its village side:

Sometimes the good things are closer than you think. Among the popular districts in southwest Berlin, Zehlendorf impresses with its special character. Here, rural tranquility blends with idyllic greenery and understated refinement. Zehlendorf stands for a relaxed country chic with an urban twist.

The established surroundings are characterized by high residential quality and value. About 50 percent of the former district consists of forest and water areas. The Havel, Kleiner and Großer Wannsee, Schlachtensee, and Krumme Lanke are popular destinations for local recreation. The relaxed lifestyle has a special tradition. Starting in 1945, the U.S. Army imbued the district with an American flair. Even today, the casual spirit of the “new continent” wafts along the avenues and cobblestone paths. With the Free University of Berlin, the Benjamin-Franklin Clinic’s University Medical Campus, and many other science and research institutions, Zehlendorf has firmly established its status as the academic hub of the capital. In the neighborhood you will find everything for everyday needs: bakeries, a weekly market, organic grocery stores, yoga studios, and cultural offerings ranging from Kino Bali to the Brücke Museum in the Grunewald and international contemporary art at Haus am Waldsee. Sports and leisure enthusiasts will enjoy meeting in traditional clubs—be it for equestrian pursuits or tennis. Education also enjoys an excellent reputation in Zehlendorf. Parents value the broad range of daycare centers and schools. Particularly popular are the John F. Kennedy School and the Leo Borchard Music School. With the lines of the Krumme Lanke U-Bahn station, the Zehlendorf S-Bahn station, and several bus routes, you benefit from excellent public transportation connections.
