Schöneberg
Schöneberg () is a locality of Berlin, Germany. Until Berlin's 2001 administrative reform it was a separate borough including the locality of Friedenau.

The two villages were not combined as one entity until 1874 and received town privileg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
