Wilhelmsruh
Wilhelmsruh is a German locality (Ortsteil) within the borough (Bezirk) of Pankow, Berlin. It is the city's smallest locality, after Halensee and Hansaviertel.
In the locality, originally part of Rosenthal, it was built a country house named Nordend which received occasionally the designation name Rosenthal II. In 1892 the settlement received the name of Colonie Wilhelmsruh. As part of Nordend municipality (now a zone of Rosenthal), it merged into Berlin in 1920 with the "Greater Berlin Act". During the "Cold War" it was part of East Berlin bordering with the western sector, and it was crossed by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989.

Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815.
