About Schöneberg
What are the main landmarks in Schöneberg?
The Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park is the green heart of Schöneberg, a formal park set among the district's older streets. The Ceciliengärten frames a quiet garden estate, the Dorfkirche Schöneberg keeps the site of the medieval village, and the Schöneberg-Museum gathers the local record, while the Orte des Erinnerns marks the district's harder memory. Stone and green share the ground.
These landmarks give Schöneberg its shape within Berlin, Germany.
What is the history of Schöneberg?
Schöneberg began as a medieval village around its Dorfkirche Schöneberg, long before the growing city reached it. A village became a town. It stood as a separate borough, taking in Friedenau, until the 2001 reform joined it with Tempelhof to form the Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough of Berlin.
That older independence still shows in the Ceciliengärten and the Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park of Schöneberg.
Where is Schöneberg?
