This exclusive garden city is located at the northernmost tip of Reinickendorf and impresses with magnificent villas, old trees, and a lot of tranquillity.

Frohnau was only laid out between 1908 and 1910 by the "Berliner Terrain-Centrale". The company, initiated by Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck, created a villa district under the name "Gartenstadt Frohnau" (Garden City Frohnau) based on a development plan laid out by urban planning professors.

Villas and Country Houses in Frohnau

Frohnau is the most upscale neighborhood within the sitrict of Reinickendorf. It features many exclusive country houses and is characterised by cobblestone streets, unpaved sandy paths, pine trees and firs, as well as numerous villas built during the 1910s and 1930s. However, there are also some more modest detached houses and apartment buildings as well as avenues lines by large magnificent old trees and ponds.

Zeltinger Platz, Casino Tower, and Buddhist House

The centre of the neighborhood is Zeltinger Platz near the Frohnau S-Bahn station, which offers various shopping facilities. The 30-meter high Casino Tower on Ludolfinger Platz is Frohnau's main landmark. Another sight is the Buddhist Center, which is located on a hill and features an Asian garden and a library. It was built in the 1920s and Buddhist monks still live here today.

Above the buildings' entrances are reliefs and script decorations with dates or place names.

The Amselteich, the Artuspfuhl, and the Nibelungenteich are among the larger ponds in the neighborhood. In the far northeast is the 3.5 acre Lake Hubertus, the northernmost lake in Berlin.
