About Bohnsdorf
Where to stay in Bohnsdorf
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Bohnsdorf sits at the edge of Berlin as a low garden suburb, better known for houses than hotels. Lodging in Bohnsdorf is sparse, since this is garden-suburb country of houses rather than hotels. Most beds are private and scattered among the garden plots near the Dorfkirche Bohnsdorf and the painted terraces of the Gartenstadt Falkenberg, a calm base well removed from the centre yet within reach of the Akazienhof and its garden-city streets.
Pack light. If you want a green, low-rise stay in Bohnsdorf near the Tuschkastensiedlung rather than a room downtown, this quiet corner of Berlin will suit you.
About Bohnsdorf
What are the main landmarks in Bohnsdorf?
The Dorfkirche Bohnsdorf anchors the old heart of Bohnsdorf, a village church among low houses. Nearby stand the Paul Gerhardt church and the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Gemeindeheim, while the Gartenstadt Falkenberg, the painted Tuschkastensiedlung, wraps its terraces around the Akazienhof square. Colour runs down the streets.
What is the history of Bohnsdorf?
Bohnsdorf grew from a small farming village on the outskirts, its life long centred on the Dorfkirche Bohnsdorf before Berlin expanded to meet it. In time the garden-city movement reached the fields here, and the Gartenstadt Falkenberg rose as a planned estate of painted terraces around the Akazienhof. Farmland turned to gardens.
The old village church and the newer colour-washed streets still mark the two ages of Bohnsdorf inside Berlin.
