Berlin Cult Restaurant since 1936

In the neighborhood of the Kurfürstendamm in Charlottenburg you will find us, the restaurant Schildkröte.

​

Since the opening in 1936 by the first owner Mrs. Lotti, we have established ourselves as a cult restaurant in Berlin.

​

We offer our guests a culinary journey through original Berlin recipes, such as the Currywurscht, and of course we offer

many other delicacies of the good traditional German cuisine.

​

As an original restaurant on the Kudamm, we see ourselves as ambassadors of Berlin's Gemütlichkeit and hospitality and are proud of regular guests from all over the world. The "Schildkröte" had only a few owners in its 70-year history and established itself as a popular meeting place in West Berlin. Among the numerous permanent guests of that time was also Harald Juhnke, who regularly took refreshments in the "Schildkröte" before the show. 

​

Otto Eduard Hasse writes in his autobiography:

​

"A pub opened in the Uhlandstraße - the "Schildkröte". There was Lotti, a great nanny, who took us

actors under her wing. That became the norm. We had our fun."
