Shopping&Amenities

Zehlendorf has a town centre, Zehlendorf Mitte, which surrounds the Zehlendorf S-bahn station. The area has the feel of a village, and offers all the practical amenities you would want in a small town: standard, discount, and organic supermarkets; gourmet and speciality food shops; bakeries; banks; chemists; shoe, clothing, gift and book shops; hairdressers. Zehlendorf is also good for locally grown farm produce such as berries and mushrooms, sold in season around the train station. There’s a small cinema in Zehlendorf, and Dahlem has several cinemas. In good weather, you can swim and sail in the many lakes of Zehlendorf, or visit Domäne Dahlem, a working open-air farm museum. In bad weather, the cultural attractions of Dahlem await: the Brückemuseum, an extensive collection of expressionist art, and the ethnological museum, with astounding collections gathered from around the world, are especially worth visiting. In December, Dahlem also hosts a popular child-friendly Christmas market with a petting zoo.
