Frohnau

Frohnau was a planned development during the 1920's, after the concept of a “Garden City”. The streets were laid out in a curving, organic pattern, radiating out from the twin town squares of Zeltinger Platz and Ludolfinger Platz. The town squares are connected by a road bridge, passing over the S-Bahn rail tracks which ensured that the railway line disappeared into a sound-proofing ditch. The planned architecture is again seen in the design of the town squares. The Frohnau landmark of the Casino Tower, which functions as a clock tower, is visible nearby.
Frohnau is very isolated from the rest of the city. The S-Bahn (run by the East Germans) is unreliable; the easiest way is to reach it by car—a 40-minute drive from the city centre to the northern tip of Berlin. The community is affluent, residing in large homes behind neat picket fences. Information is spread via local gossip; the residents here are friendly if not slightly closed-in.

The gateway to the Buddhist House is carved with images of elephants and various Ceylonese motifs. Past the gate is a steep stairway of 73 steps, leading up to the main hall. The Buddhist House seems to be a quiet and serene place. Behind the house is a recessed pond, symbolising the four sinkings of the practitioner to achieve a state free from happiness and suffering. The garden is simple and peaceful, with a statue of Guanyin as the centrepiece.
The main hall has an extensive library of Buddhism-related texts and scriptures. The temple hosts missionaries from Sri Lanka, here to spread Buddhism to Germany. The house was established in 1924 and is one of the oldest facilities of its kind in Europe.
