Description

Among Berlin's villa colonies, one still stands out today: the Grunewald, conveniently located between City West and Berlin's most famous forest. Protected by Reich Chancellor Bismarck, wealthy Berliners settled here from 1889 and enjoyed the tranquility of their huge estates, but also took advantage of the proximity to Kurfürstendamm. Among the most famous residents were the industrialist and Reich Foreign Minister Walther Rathenau, the publisher Samuel Fischer, the banking family Mendelssohn, but also the dancer Isadora Duncan and the film director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau or the writers Vicki Baum and Hermann Sudermann. The tour takes you to the idyllic corners of the villa suburb, to preserved magnificent villas, picturesque lakes, and places of small stories and big history.
