During the time of the separation of East and West Berlin the Kurf�rstendamm became the number one business street of West Berlin. Kurf�rstendamm starts at Bahnhof Zoo (railway terminus) at the Berlin Zoo, near the ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and runs through Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf.
The Berlin nickname is 'Ku Damm' (Ku sounds like Kuh which would be in English 'Cow Avenue').
