About Lankwitz
Where to stay in Lankwitz
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Lankwitz is one of the quieter, church-marked quarters of Berlin, its streets gathered around the Dorfkirche Lankwitz and the walled grounds of Kloster Sankt Augustinus. Stays here are few. Most visitors base themselves in central Berlin and come out to Lankwitz for its churches, the monastery, and the listed Garten des Einfamilienhauses Henning rather than for a hotel strip.
The pace is domestic. If you would rather wake in a settled quarter near the Dorfkirche Lankwitz and the Gemeindezentrum Paul-Schneider than beside the sights of the centre, Lankwitz will suit you.
About Lankwitz
What are the main landmarks in Lankwitz?
The Dorfkirche Lankwitz is the historic heart of Lankwitz, a village church around which the older streets still gather. Nearby stand the monastery Kloster Sankt Augustinus and the church Von der Auferstehung Christi, while the Gemeindezentrum Paul-Schneider serves the parish and the listed Garten des Einfamilienhauses Henning survives among the villas. The churches set the tone.
What is the history of Lankwitz?
Lankwitz grew from an old village that the expanding city of Berlin later drew in, its beginnings still legible in the Dorfkirche Lankwitz at the centre. Around that village church the quarter spread outward, gaining newer parish churches such as the church Von der Auferstehung Christi and meeting places like the Gemeindezentrum Paul-Schneider as its streets filled with villas and gardens. The village became a suburb.
Later foundations, among them the monastery Kloster Sankt Augustinus, still mark its churchly past.
