The Pankow district of Wilhelmsruh is one of Berlin’s villa suburbs, with development originating in the neighboring district of Rosenthal. The country houses and villas, some of which have been preserved to this day, were mainly built at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The Bergmann electricity works were also built around the turn of the century. Today, there is industry and culture here. In the center of Wilhelmsruh stands the picturesque Luther Church – built according to the plans of Lutz Gottlob. The building in Brandenburg brick Gothic style forms a small haven of peace near the busy main street with its stores, cafés and supermarkets. The Garibaldi pond and Wilhelmsruher See lake are also nearby – two other small oases for children and adults in Wilhelmsruh. In Wilhelmsruh, you benefit from the convenient connection to the city center as well as the proximity to Volkspark Schönholzer Heide. The 35-hectare forest park is ideal for jogging, walking or cycling. The residential happiness is rounded off by numerous daycare centers, doctors and pharmacies, which can be easily reached on foot or by bike.
