Zehlendorf: Süd

Zehlendorf Süd is shaped by quiet residential areas, green surroundings and proximity to forests. At Zehlendorf Süd, the local character comes from lower building density, detached homes, private gardens and comparatively little through traffic. The everyday rhythm of Zehlendorf Süd is shaped by larger plots, mature planting and a slower rhythm than in Berlin’s inner-city blocks. Zehlendorf Süd lies in the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, about 16 km southwest of central Berlin. From Zehlendorf Süd toward Teltower Damm and Goerzwerke, density, land use and street character shift step by step rather than at a sharp edge. The character of Zehlendorf Süd is clearest along everyday routes between homes, public space and nearby destinations. Around Zehlendorf Süd, even a few minutes on foot can bring noticeable changes in noise, greenery and access to everyday services. This gives Zehlendorf Süd a distinctive quality: the sense of privacy and local continuity found at the metropolitan edge.
