Charlottenburg

Charlottenburg is an area of Berlin within the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.

Charlottenburg was an independent city to the west of Berlin until it was incorporated into “Groß-Berlin” (Greater Berlin) and transformed into a borough. In the course of Berlin’s 2001 administrative reform it was merged with Wilmersdorf becoming a district of a new borough called Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. Later, in 2004, the new borough’s districts were re-arranged, dividing the former Charlottenburg into the districts Westend, Charlottenburg-Nord and Charlottenburg. The following article deals with the former borough Charlottenburg.

In 2005, Charlottenburg commemorated its 300th anniversary.
