About Schmargendorf
What are the main landmarks in Schmargendorf?
The Kreuzkirche stands among the villa streets of Schmargendorf, one of several churches that mark this locality of Berlin. The Grunewald-Kirche gathers a nearby parish, the Horst-Dohm-Eisstadion draws skaters to its ice rink, and the villa known as Landhaus Lewin keeps the domestic architecture of the old Wilmersdorf. Green runs to the door.
Together these landmarks give Schmargendorf its face within Germany.
What is the history of Schmargendorf?
Schmargendorf grew from an old village church settlement that later filled with garden villas in Berlin's outer suburbs. The village church came first. It stood in the district of Wilmersdorf until 2001, when reform folded it into the larger Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough beside the Grunewald.
The Kreuzkirche and the Horst-Dohm-Eisstadion belong to that settled, residential chapter of Schmargendorf in Germany.
