Zehlendorf is a
locality within the borough of
Steglitz-Zehlendorf in
Berlin. Before
Berlin's 2001 administrative reform Zehlendorf was a borough in its own right, consisting of the locality of Zehlendorf as well as
Wannsee,
Nikolassee and
Dahlem. Zehlendorf contains some of the most remarked upon natural settings in Berlin, including parts of the
Grunewald forest and the
Schlachtensee and
Krumme Lanke lakes. Additionally, it has large affluent residential neighborhoods, some with
cobblestone streets and buildings that are over 100 years old. It is one of the most expensive areas in Berlin for housing.
