Wilmersdorf: Old West Berlin's Residential Heart, Preussenpark, and the Borough Between Ku'damm and Grunewald
Wilmersdorf is part of Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough with a population around 102,000. The district sits between the Kurfuerstendamm to the north and the Grunewald forest to the southwest, a position that made it one of West Berlin's most desirable residential areas. The Preussenpark, officially Preussenpark but known locally as Thaipark, hosts an informal Thai street food market on weekends. The Fehrbelliner Platz is a listed 1930s civic architecture complex.
The Schaubuhne am Lehniner Platz, directed by Thomas Ostermeier, is one of Europe's most acclaimed theatres. The Volkspark Wilmersdorf and Rudolph-Wilde-Park provide green space in an otherwise densely built-up district. The Berliner Moschee on Brienner Strasse, built in 1928, was one of the first mosques in Germany. Wilmersdorf's Bundesallee and Berliner Strasse are major traffic arteries. The area attracted a large Russian-speaking community after 1990. Property values remain among Berlin's highest. Adult companionship follows Berlin's city-state framework in a district whose character is overwhelmingly residential and affluent.
