Steglitz-Zehlendorf is Berlin’s greenest borough: extensive woodland, parks and lakeside properties at Wannsee characterise the southwest of the city. The building mix differs significantly from inner-city block development. Zehlendorf, Nikolassee and Wannsee consist predominantly of villas and detached houses with large plots and long main lines made of stoneware or clay pipe – often laid 60 to 80 years ago beneath mature trees. In Steglitz, Gründerzeit period buildings and post-war constructions along Schloßstraße dominate; Lankwitz and Lichterfelde are characterised by quiet detached and multi-family housing areas.
The drinking water in Steglitz-Zehlendorf comes predominantly from the Beelitzhof waterworks according to Berliner Wasserbetriebe, at 16.9 degrees German hardness – hard enough to build up limescale layers in pipes over years. Unlike in neighbouring Gründerzeit quarters, this hard water primarily affects the long main lines beneath the large villa plots. Stoneware pipes with leaking joints also provide attack surfaces for root intrusion – the main problem in Berlin’s greenest borough.
