Discover the GrĂŒnewald villa district during a guided tour and enjoy the idyll between the big city and the forest.
GrĂŒnewald is conveniently located between City West and Berlin's most famous forest. Learn how wealthy Berliners, sponsored by Chancellor Bismarck, settled here from 1889 onwards: among them are the industrialist and Reich Foreign Minister Walther Rathenau, the publisher Samuel Fischer, the banker family Mendelssohn, but also the dancer Isadora Duncan and film director Murnau, or the writers Vicki Baum and Hermann Sudermann. See the idyllic corners of the villa suburb, preserved grand villas, as well as picturesque lakes.
