Geography

Lankwitz is situated in the southern suburb of Berlin, close to the borders with Brandenburg. It borders the localities of Steglitz, Lichterfelde, Mariendorf, Marienfelde (both in Tempelhof-Schöneberg district) and, in a short point represented by a bridge over the Teltowkanal, with Tempelhof.Source: "ADAC StadtAtlas - Berlin-Potsdam". ed. 2007 - p. 196 - {{ISBN|3-8264-1348-2}} The Teltowkanal also remarks the boundary between Lankwitz and Steglitz.
