Jungfernheide

Jungfernheide (German pronunciation: [ˌjʊŋfɐnˈhaɪ̯də] ⓘ) is an area of forest and heathland located in Berlin in the present-day district of Charlottenburg-Nord, a locality of the borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.

The forest and heathland located east of Spandau were used as a royal hunting ground until 1800.

In this year, the western section of the Berlin Ringbahn was also completed, which was primarily built for military purposes.

Since reopening, Jungfernheide has served as an important junction in the northwest of Berlin, offering transfers between the Ringbahn, the U7 (Berlin U-Bahn), regional trains, local and express buses to the nearby Tegel Airport.

The Volkspark Jungfernheide is located on 146 hectares (360 acres) of land between the Berlin-Spandau Ship Canal and the Heckerdamm, and is bounded to the West by the Jungfernheideweg and to the East by Bundesautobahn 111.
