Berlin-Schöneberg Overview

Schöneberg is a lovely residential neighborhood in southwestern Berlin. From here you will be close to all that’s happening in Germany’s capital. Take a cruise on the Spree river, which meanders past many of Berlin’s most famous landmarks, and take your pick from a vast array of cultural events all year round. If you’re planning a visit during Carnival season, don’t miss the festivities on St. Martin’s Day (November 11) in nearby Potsdam. If you’re coming between February 11-21, you can watch a world premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival. Our featured vacation apartment is fully-furnished, sleeps up to 4 people, and comes with a 10% discount!

Schöneberg is a locality of Berlin, Germany. Until Berlin's 2001 administrative reform it was a separate borough including the locality of Friedenau. Together with the former borough of Tempelhof it is now part of the new borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

The locality of Schöneberg includes the neighbourhoods of Bayerisches Viertel (an affluent residential area with streets named after Bavarian towns) and Rote Insel (Red Island) as well as the Südgelände (South Grounds) and Lindenhof areas outside the Ringbahn circle.




Insider Tips for Berlin-Schöneberg

I go to Berlin whenever I get a chance, lived there twice, visited, about a dozen times. Was even in Schöneberg as recently as a few months ago a handful of times. Berlin is a great place to visit.

Things to See in Berlin-Schöneberg

Dorfkirche (village church)

Rathaus Schöneberg, 1914 at John-F.-Kennedy-Platz, where on June 26, 1963 U.S. President John F. Kennedy held his famous Ich bin ein Berliner speech.

Headquarters of the RIAS Berlin (Radio in the American Sector) from 1948–1993, then headquarters of DeutschlandRadio Berlin from 1994 until the station was renamed Deutschlandradio Kultur in 2005. The building was erected in 1941 by the IG Farben conglomerate

Headquarters of the BVG Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (Berlin Public Transportation Company) on Potsdamer Straße.

KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westens), the largest department store in continental Europe, at Wittenbergplatz

The Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park, first laid out in 1656 by Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg as a nursery, later Berlin's Botanical Garden, which in 1910 moved to Dahlem. In 1913 the Kammergericht appellate court building was erected within the park, together with two colonnades by Carl von Gontard from 1780, which had been moved here from the Alexanderplatz. On August 8, 1944 it was the site of the Volksgerichtshof show trial of members of the July 20 plot led by judge-president Roland Freisler. From 1945 on the building served as the seat of the Allied Control Council in Berlin. When the Soviet representatives left the Council in 1948 the Berlin Air Safety Center remained as the only four-power-organization (beside Spandau Prison), while the rest of the building was empty. Today it again serves as the seat of the Kammergericht court.

Pallasstraße hochbunker, built in 1943 by forced laborers. The large social housing estate across the street was the site of the Berlin Sportpalast, where Joseph Goebbels held his 1943 "Total War" speech. The building was demolished in 1973. The present housing estate is known to Berliners as the Sozialpalast ("Social Palace").
