Wilhelmsruh () is a German locality (Ortsteil) within the borough (Bezirk) of Pankow, Berlin. It is the city's smallest locality, after Halensee and Hansaviertel.
==History== thumb|right|260px|Wilhelmsruh station in 1903 In the locality, originally part of Rosenthal, it was built a country house named Nordend which received occasionally the designation name Rosenthal II. In 1892 the settlement received the name of Colonie Wilhelmsruh. As part of Nordend municipality (now a zone of Rosenthal), it merged into Berlin in 1920 with the "Greater Berlin Act". During the "Cold War" it was part of East Berlin bordering with the western sector, and it was crossed by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989.
