Insider tip in Westend: Charming semi-detached house in Eichkamp

Located in the popular Eichkamp residential area, on a traffic-calmed cul-de-sac, this semi-detached house—formerly a listed historic building—stands out for its sought-after micro-location on the western edge of the city. Many young families particularly appreciate its proximity to renowned schools such as Heinz Galinski School, Waldschule and Berlin British School. While the first houses in the Eichkamp development were generally designed as terraced houses by architects such as Max and Bruno Taut, the semi-detached house in question was built in 1930 by Berlin architect Curt Gorgas, reflecting the rise of the educated middle class. The village lime tree at the centre of the cul-de-sac, surrounded by a circular bench, emphasises the development’s rural charm and invites neighbourly encounters.

Grunewald and numerous sports grounds, including Mommsen Stadium, are in the immediate vicinity, while the city centre is just a stone’s throw away. Thanks to excellent transport links, numerous shopping facilities and public transport connections are available from Grunewald S-Bahn station and Eichkamp S-Bahn station.
