Like Steglitz, Zehlendorf came into existence on 27 August 1920 as a result of a law that united surrounding residential areas, passed as part of the agenda of an increasingly consolidated Berlin greater metropolitan area.
Friedrich II would lounge at the Zehlendorfer Anger while he waited for the horses to be changed, often speaking to the farmers, leading to his agreement that the mud-brick church from the Middle Ages would be replaced with a lighter and brighter octagonal building.

 Berlin
Berlin is the capital of Germany and its largest city, with 3,389,450 inhabitants (as of 2002; down from 4.5 million before World War II, and on the decline since German reunification in 1990).
On the other hand, Berlin was devastated in the bombardments during World War II, and many of the old buildings that were left were eradicated in the 1950s and 1960s in both the West and the East in overambitious architecture programs.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), many houses partially destroyed in World War II and not yet rebuilt were situated in the city center (formerly the western part of East Berlin).
