The Kurfürstendamm, Berlin's upscale retail neighborhood
The Kurfürstendamm is one of the most famous avenues in Berlin, Germany. The street is named for the former Kurfürsten (Electors) of the Holy Roman Empire.
During the time of the separation of East and West Berlin the Kurfürstendamm became the number one business street of West Berlin. Kurfürstendamm starts at Bahnhof Zoo (railway terminus) at the Zoologischer Garten, near the ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and runs through Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf.
The Berlin nickname is 'Ku Damm' (Ku sounds like Kuh), which would be 'Cow Avenue' in English.de:Kurfürstendamm it:Kurfürstendamm nl:Kurfürstendamm sv:Kurfürstendamm
