In the Middle Ages, the village of Slatdorp existed on the southern shore of Schlachtensee, but it fell desolate after 1300.

[2] In the late 19th century, a small train station on the Wannsee railway line was built south of Schlachtensee lake.

A private development company bought the land south of the station and incorporated it into Zehlendorf.

Under the name "Landhausgemeinde Schlachtensee", small country houses, containing around 3 to 4 rooms each, were built for the (lower) middle class.

Around this time, many small businesses started opening up around Breisgauer Straße, today's commercial center of Schlachtensee.
