Residential & Embassy-quiet

Wilmersdorf

Residential-affluent West — Ludwigkirchplatz, Brandenburger Hof, embassy axis, older clientele.

South-west of Charlottenburg, Wilmersdorf is residential-affluent West Berlin — the Ludwigkirchplatz square, the Olivaer Platz axis, the embassy-rich streets around Hohenzollerndamm and the older hotel-restaurant register at the Brandenburger Hof, the Steigenberger and the Waldorf orbit. The chapter takes the residential-Berlin Saturday lunch, the embassy-quiet dinner and the older clientele the hood has kept since the 1960s. Less photographed than Mitte, less self-conscious than Kreuzberg.
