Commission-free: Renovated 2-room apartment with access to a garden, located in the Zinnowald settlement and featuring original architectural details.

An architectural icon inspired by the English garden city ideal.

The Zinnowald settlement is a significant landmark in urban planning, extending beyond Zehlendorf. Inspired by the English garden city movement, it was built between 1925 and 1928 according to plans by the architect Gustav Hochhaus. This protected ensemble of 65 houses features characteristic elements of architectural Expressionism. Particularly striking are the facades with warm red and yellow tones, as well as the contrasting white window frames. The houses are nestled in lush greenery and surrounded by mature trees. Their discreet and open layout covers the approximately 26,250 square meter property and extends partly into the green spaces. A particularly attractive feature is the generous balconies and loggias of the apartments, which offer a great deal of privacy amidst abundant nature.

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, the tranquility of a village blends with idyllic greenery and understated elegance. Zehlendorf embodies a relaxed, country-chic style with an urban touch. The established environment is characterized by its high quality of life and property values. Approximately 50 percent of the older part of the district is comprised of forests and water areas. The Havel River, the Kleine and Große Wannsee lakes, the Schlachtensee lake, and the Krumme Lanke lake are popular destinations for recreation. The relaxed lifestyle has a special tradition. Since 1945, the U.S. Army has given 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 an academic hub in the capital. In the neighborhood, you'll find everything you need for daily life: a bakery, a weekly market, a health food store, a yoga studio, and cultural attractions. From the Bali cinema to the Brücke Museum in Grunewald, and the international contemporary art gallery Haus am Waldsee, there's something for everyone. Sports and recreation enthusiasts can find traditional clubs, such as riding schools or tennis clubs. Education also enjoys an excellent reputation in Zehlendorf. Parents appreciate the wide range of kindergartens and schools available. The John F. Kennedy School and the Leo Borchard Music School are 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 connections.
