Berlin Bezirk Finder: Which District You Live In, and Whose Errand It Is
Type your Ortsteil or Kiez, or tap the map, to see which of Berlin's 12 districts you live in and which of the 23 old ones it used to be. Then pick an errand to see whether your own Bezirk, any office in the city or one state office handles it.
Find your district, then see who handles your errand.
Type your Ortsteil or tap the map.
What the tool shows
Berlin has had twelve districts, the Bezirke, since 1 January 2001. They were formed from twenty-three older districts, and most of the old names live on as Ortsteile. The map shows today's twelve districts and, if you switch it on, the borders of the twenty-three that came before.
How to use it
Type your Ortsteil or a well-known Kiez, such as Wedding, Schillerkiez or Bergmannkiez, or tap your part of the city on the map.
The dark card tells you your district, its population and the district it belonged to before 2001.
Pick an errand: the map and the card show whether your own district handles it, the district where the problem is, any office in Berlin, or one state office for the whole city.
Switch on the old districts to see the borders the 2001 merger erased.
Where the facts come from
District and Ortsteil borders come from the Geoportal Berlin (ALKIS, Datenlizenz Deutschland Zero 2.0), simplified for the map. Population is the Einwohnerregister figure of the Amt für Statistik Berlin-Brandenburg for 30 June 2026. Who handles which errand was checked on 12 November 2026 against service.berlin.de and the offices' own pages. Map tiles from OpenStreetMap contributors.
