Rudow: Cold War Border Village, BER Airport Edge, and the Southern Tip of Neukoelln
Rudow is a neighbourhood in Berlin's Neukoelln borough with a population around 42,600. During the Cold War, Rudow sat directly on the Berlin Wall; the Waltersdorfer Chaussee border crossing connected it to Schoenefeld in the East. Today, the neighbourhood is the closest part of western Berlin to BER Airport, which lies just across the city boundary in Brandenburg.
The village core along Alt-Rudow retains a few older farmhouses and the medieval fieldstone church. The Rudower Hoehe, a Truemmerberg (rubble hill) from wartime debris, provides a green hilltop viewpoint. The neighbourhood is predominantly low-rise residential with single-family houses and small apartment blocks. The U-Bahn line U7 terminates at Rudow station, connecting to central Berlin in about 30 minutes. The Gropiusstadt, a large 1960s housing estate designed by Walter Gropius, borders Rudow to the north. Adult companionship follows Berlin's city-state regulations.
