Where to stay in Buch
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Buch sits at the far reach of Berlin, a quarter of hospital grounds, gardens, and the Campus Berlin-Buch. Rooms in Buch are few, the handful there is clustering near the Schlosskirche Buch and the Campus Berlin-Buch clinics. What rooms there are cluster near the Schlosskirche Buch and the clinics, a quiet base of parkland where the sculpture park of Campus Berlin-Buch lines its paths with busts of Max Delbrück and Otto Warburg.
Come for the calm. If you want a green, low-key stay in Buch near the Schlosskirche Buch rather than a room in central Berlin, this outlying corner will suit you.
About Buch
What are the main landmarks in Buch?
The Schlosskirche Buch is the oldest landmark of Buch, a Baroque church left from a manor long gone. Across the quarter the Soviet War Memorial stands among the trees, while the sculpture park of Campus Berlin-Buch sets busts of Max Delbrück, Otto Warburg, Robert Rössle, and Hermann von Helmholtz along its walks. Science is written in bronze here.
What is the history of Buch?
Buch grew from a country estate and its village church, the Schlosskirche Buch marking the site of a manor that has since vanished. Later the quarter turned to hospitals and research, drawing the scientists whose busts stand along the Campus Berlin-Buch. War left its mark too.
The Soviet War Memorial recalls the fighting that reached Buch as the wider battle for Berlin closed in.
