Wilmersdorf is a inner city locality of Berlin, formerly a borough by itself but since Berlin's 2001 administrative reform a part of the new borough of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. The Kurfürstendamm runs through the area. Wilmersdorf was a historic village near Berlin (Deutsch-Wilmersdorf), which was first mentioned in 1293 as Wilmerstorff. From the 1850s on it was developed as a densely settled, affluent residential area, which in 1920 became a part of "Greater Berlin". The former borough of Wilmersdorf included the localities of Halensee, Schmargendorf and Grunewald.
