This tidy shopping street leads directly to ��ü������𾱳���� Platz, which dates from the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II, when the German capital was undergoing a rapid westward expansion into farms and woodlands.

For much of the year, ��ü������𾱳���� Platz is a quiet urban oasis, but that aura of tranquillity vanishes between May and September.

��ü������𾱳���� Strasse, tucked away in one of Wilmersdorf’s quieter corners, is my favorite.

Last year one irate ��ü������𾱳���� Platz resident demanded in a court filing that the festival be drastically shortened, claiming that it was disturbing the peace.

But the arrival of a case of Rudesheimer Berg inspired his last words: "Pity, pity — too late!"
