Steglitz-Zehlendorf (German: [ˌʃteːɡˌlɪt͡s ˈt͡seːlənˌdɔʁf] ) is the sixth borough of Berlin, formed in Berlin's 2001 administrative reform by merging the former boroughs of Steglitz and Zehlendorf.
Demographics
As of 2010, the borough had a population of roughly 294,000, of whom about 70,000 (~24%) were of non-German ethnicity/origin. Hence, the percentage of migrants is a bit lower than Berlin's overall average, which is at roughly 30%.
| Percentage of the population with migration background[1] | |

| Germans without migration background/Ethnic Germans | 76% (223.400) |
| Germans with migration background/Foreigners | 24% (70.600) |
| – Middle Eastern/Muslim migration background (Turkey, Arab League, Iran etc.) | 4.5% (13.200) |
