The municipality is located at the three lakes Flakensee, Kalksee and the Bauernsee, between Schöneiche, the Berlin forest and Erkner.

Woltersdorf borders (in clockwise direction, starting in north) on Rüdersdorf, Erkner, Berlin and Schöneiche.

Today the church, the city hall and the "old school" (German "alte Schule") are located here, representing the Woltersdorf "downtown".

Between 1618 till 1648 Woltesdorf was desolated (Thirty Years' War) and temporarily uninhabited.

It granted a great perspective from a height of 105 meters, and on clear days you were able to see the Berliner Fernsehturm.
