Dahlem is a locality of the
Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough in southwestern
Berlin. Until
Berlin’s 2001 administrative reform it was a part of the former borough of
Zehlendorf. It is located between the mansion settlements of
Grunewald and
Lichterfelde West. Dahlem is one of the most affluent parts of the city and a center for
academic research. It is home to the
Freie Universität Berlin, with its architecturally significant
Philological Library (“The Brain”). Several other research institutions and museums, as well as parts of the
Grunewald forest with its
renaissance hunting lodge, are located in Dahlem. The
