Lage & Umgebung
Between Kurfürstendamm and Grunewald: Wilmersdorf is centrally located, full of culture and urbanity, yet close to nature, to Wannsee and Grunewald. Wilmersdorf is glamorous and cosmopolitan, dignified and with the discreet charm of old West Berlin.
Here today stand the best-preserved old building ensembles of the city; here the splendor of the Wilhelminian era lives on.
Fechnerstraße has borne its name since 1947, commemorating the Wilmersdorf painter and writer Hanns Fechner. Previously, since the end of the 19th century, it was called Lauenburger Straße; only during the Nazi era was it renamed Walter-Fischer-Straße.
The weekly market at Hohenzollernplatz invites you to stroll. On Güntzelstraße, gourmet restaurants line up alongside old Berlin pubs, and cafés next to selected bookstores.
In the district, owner-managed clothing stores, galleries, delicatessens, and wine shops survive and thrive: because they cultivate their regular customers, and they remain loyal. For joggers, Volkspark Wilmersdorf is ideal: 2.5 kilometers long and green, just 200 meters from Fechnerstraße.
Speaking of parks: On sunny weekends, Preußenpark, a 10-minute walk from here, transforms into Germany's largest Thai street food market. A tradition from the 1990s, today so successful that some only know the green area as "Thaipark."
Similarly popular: The sommelier festival "Weinbrunnen" (Wine Fountain) at Rüdesheimer Platz. Culinarily, you are well catered for, be it for a quick bite or the full dinner program.
