In the Westend district of Berlin, on Spandauer Damm, lies an almost unknown park. Ruhwaldpark is not particularly large, but it is beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
If you drive along Spandauer Damm from Charlottenburg in the direction of Spandau, you will pass Ruhwaldpark. This is located on the former Spandauer Berg. By Berlin standards it really is a mountain, because the highest point is a good 30 metres above the Spree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was in the 1860s that the commercial councillor and magazine publisher Ludwig von Schaeffer-Voit acquired a 5.8-hectare site on the Spandauer Berg. He commissioned the architect Carl Schwatlo to build a villa on his property. A villa in the classicist style was built, which stood directly on the edge of the slope and at that time offered a fantastic view of the surrounding area. From the so-called Ruhwald Palace, the view stretched across the Spree and Havel rivers to Lake Tegel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
