====== Kurfürstendamm ====== Description [wiki]: The cultural centre of West Berlin In [ref]* : Charlottenburg Tags [ref]* : Image [img] : ic:kurfurstendamm.png The Kurfürstendamm is one of the most famous avenues in [[West Berlin]] (and the whole of [[Berlin]]). The street takes its name from the former Kurfürsten (prince-electors) of Brandenburg. This very broad, long boulevard can be considered the Champs-Élysées of Berlin -- full of shops, houses, hotels and restaurants. In particular, many fashion designers have their shops there, as well as several car manufacturers' show rooms.
