geography
location
Steglitz-Zehlendorf borders the Brandenburg state capital Potsdam in the west , as well as the Berlin districts of Spandau (northwest), Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (north) and Tempelhof-Schöneberg in the east. Kleinmachnow and Teltow in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district lie behind the state border in the south . The district extends over 19 kilometers in an east-west direction and 9 kilometers in a north-south direction.
The westernmost point of Berlin is in the district of Wannsee in the Havel , on which the border with Brandenburg runs.
colonization
The Steglitz-Zehlendorf district includes extensive recreational areas, villa settlements and various residential and commercial locations. In the west there are recreational areas such as the Wannsee , the southern Grunewald with its Krumme Lanke and Schlachtensee lakes , which are particularly popular with Berliners in summer. The district of Dahlem is the seat of numerous scientific institutions and the Free University . The Zehlendorf area has different residential areas, with a small retail area in the center. The Lichterfelde, located south of Dahlem, is characterized in the northern part by the Gründerzeit villa colony of Lichterfelde and smaller retail centers; in Lichterfelde-Süd there are partly residential areas from the time after the Second World War .
The Steglitz district further to the east, on the other hand, has a more urban structure, as shown by Schloßstraße in the center with the highest density of shops in Berlin. It represents the main center for the south-western districts of the city. Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem are, contrary to their own name, in the district of Lichterfelde.
The district is populated very differently. Half of the population lives in Steglitz and Lichterfelde, both of which are in the top quarter of all 96 Berlin districts in terms of population. Wannsee, the largest district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf with almost a quarter of the total area, is very sparsely populated with its three percent population.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district is based on the coat of arms of the eponymous districts of Steglitz and Zehlendorf . The coats of arms of the other districts are not taken into account. This corresponds to the pattern of coats of arms in most of Berlin's districts . Even the former administrative districts of Steglitz and Zehlendorf, which existed from 1920 to 2000, only used the coats of arms of the two old Prussian villages, supplemented by the wall crown common to all Berlin coats of arms as a symbol of the city association. Today's district coat of arms was donated on March 25, 2003 by the Berlin Senate .
Blazon : In gold, a green pine with a black trunk on a green ground, underneath a silver corrugated shield base, above in the shield head a floating red armored and tongued black eagle head. A red three-tower wall crown rests on the shield , the central tower of which is covered with the Berlin coat of arms .
Reasons for the coat of arms: The pine and the wave shield base (water symbolism) are taken from the Zehlendorf coat of arms (since the design of the coat of arms in 1907). They symbolize the abundance of forests and water in the Zehlendorf district. The eagle motif is taken from the Steglitz coat of arms (part of the coat of arms around 1887 when the town of Steglitz was unexpectedly granted its own coat of arms). The eagle motif is on the crest lender Kaiser Wilhelm I. due. The crown of the wall is the connecting element of all Berlin districts .
