History

Café Kranzler originally opened in 1834 on the Unter den Linden boulevard with a sun terrace, an ice-cream parlour and a smokers room, unfortunately, this building was destroyed during World War II.  The Charlottenburg branch was opened in 1932, in the rooms of the former Café des Westens on Kurfürstendamm. This operated ran until the building's destruction in 1945. After the war, the business was resumed at the site in 1951.
