Commission-free: Renovated 4-room apartment with garden access in the Zinnowald settlement!

An architectural icon inspired by the English garden city ideal. The Zinnowald settlement is a significant urban landmark, extending far beyond Zehlendorf. Built according to plans by the architect Gustav Hochhaus between 1925 and 1928, this protected complex of 65 houses is one of the most impressive examples of architectural Expressionism in Berlin. Inspired by the English garden city movement, the development combines urban living with the character of a natural parkland.

The warm red and yellow tones of the facades, as well as the striking white window frames, are characteristic features. The 65 houses are integrated into an existing tree population and are arranged in a loose, staggered pattern across the approximately 26,250 square meter plot, sometimes extending into the adjacent green spaces. The spacious balconies of the apartments open onto nature, creating a sense of privacy that is rare in the Berlin cityscape.

Where the city reveals its village-like charm:
Sometimes, the good things are closer than you think. Among the popular districts in southwestern Berlin, Zehlendorf stands out with its unique character. Here, a village-like atmosphere blends with idyllic greenery and understated elegance. Zehlendorf represents a relaxed, country-chic style with an urban touch. The established environment is characterized by its high quality of life and enduring value. Approximately 50 percent of the older district consists of forest and water areas. The Havel River, along with the Kleine Wannsee, Großer Wannsee, Schlachtensee, and Krumme Lanke lakes, are popular destinations for recreation. The relaxed lifestyle has a special tradition. Starting in 1945, the U.S. Army gave the district an American flair. To this day, the casual atmosphere of the "New Continent" permeates the avenues and cobblestone streets. With the Free University of Berlin, the University Medicine Campus of the Benjamin Franklin Hospital, and many other science and research institutions, Zehlendorf has firmly established its status as a hub of academia in the capital city. In the neighborhood, you'll find everything you need for daily life: bakeries, a weekly market, a health food store, a yoga studio, and cultural attractions. From the Bali cinema to the Brücke Museum in Grunewald, and international contemporary art at the Haus am Waldsee, there's something for everyone. Sports and leisure enthusiasts can find clubs to join, such as equestrian or tennis clubs. Education also enjoys an excellent reputation in Zehlendorf. Parents appreciate the wide range of kindergartens and schools available, with the John F. Kennedy School and the Leo Borchard Music School being particularly popular. With lines from the Krumme Lanke subway station and the Zehlendorf S-Bahn station, as well as several bus lines, you benefit from excellent public transportation links.
