The Steglitz district was an administrative district of Berlin from 1920 to 2000 . It included the districts of Steglitz , Lankwitz and Lichterfelde . The area of the district has belonged to the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district since January 1, 2001 .
location
The Steglitz district bordered on the northeast by the district of Schöneberg , in the east on the Tempelhof district , in the south of the country Brandenburg , on the west by the district of Zehlendorf and in the northwest on the district of Wilmersdorf . Today the area of the former district forms the eastern part of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district.
history
When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, the 12th administrative district was formed from the rural communities of Steglitz, Lichterfelde and Lankwitz, which had previously belonged to the district of Teltow , and from the villa colony of Südende, which had previously belonged to the rural community of Mariendorf . It was named Steglitz after its most populous district . Until then, Steglitz was the largest village in Prussia .
When the district boundaries were changed in 1938, a larger area of the neighboring district of Zehlendorf became part of the Steglitz district. The population of the district increased by 4744 residents and the district area grew by 391 hectares .
During the Second World War , parts of Steglitz, in particular Südende and Lankwitz, were hit hard by Allied air raids on Berlin . As part of the Battle of Berlin , the Steglitz district was taken from the south by Red Army troops in the last days of April 1945 .
The Steglitz district had belonged to the American Sector of Berlin since July 1945 and housed several barracks of the US armed forces in Lichterfelde until the early 1990s .
One of the largest post-war building projects in the district was the thermometer settlement built from 1968 to 1974 in Lichterfelde-Süd . Between 1968 and 1980 the scandalous Steglitzer Kreisel was built in Steglitz - a large building complex with a high-rise office building that can be seen from afar - into which the district administration also moved. The Steglitz Clinic (since 1994 Benjamin Franklin University Clinic ) was opened in 1968 . In 1971 the district was almost reached by the U9 line of the Berlin subway, which was extended to Walther-Schreiber-Platz station . In 1974 the U9 was extended to Rathaus Steglitz station. In the 1970s, the Steglitz district also received direct connections to the Berlin motorway network via the A 103 and A 104 .
The district was integrated into the S-Bahn network by the Wannseebahn and the Anhalter Vorortbahn . Both lines were closed in 1980 and 1984 respectively. After complete renovations, the Wannseebahn in 1985 and the Anhalter suburban railway were put back into operation in 1995.
On January 1, 2001, the Steglitz district was merged with the Zehlendorf district to form the new Steglitz-Zehlendorf district.
