In the first settlement phase of the German eastern settlement in the Zauche and on the southwestern Teltow attracted in the last quarter of the 12th century German settlers in existing Slavic settlements on Schlachtensee, at Krumme Lanke and the Crooked Fenn, today Düppel, which may have been extended. In the second phase of settlement emerged the new German plan forms Anger villages and road villages. The built environment has been restructured by the little old Slavic settlements were disbanded and relocated their inhabitants to the new plan shapes, here in the broad street village Zehlendorf, which was created in 1230. 1242 Cedelendorp was first mentioned in a written sales contract. At that time, changed the ownership of the Margrave John I and Otto III. the Cistercian monastery Lehnin. The place name is a German -Slavic hybrid form in which the polabische personal names Sedl is included, which in turn from the old Slavic word Saddleback ( settlement ) is derived.

Supposedly a village church was mentioned in records in 1264, which had a Klutturm ( Low German Klut =, Klotz '). It would have been a case built around 1250 four-part apse church from field stone blocks with ship wide cross tower. It was destroyed in 1760 during the Seven Years' War, 1767 canceled. The replacement building erected in 1768 the village church Zehlendorf was quite unusual for a Brandenburg village church, a central structure in the form of an octagon.

In the Land Book of Charles IV ( 1375 ) was mentioned by 50 Zehlendorf hooves; which the priest had four and three Lehnschulze. There was a pitcher and a (water) mill. Also eleven Kossäten and two lakes (fishing rights on the Schlachtensee and Krumme Lanke ) were called. Taxes ( tithes, rents and Bede ) were partly to the Margrave, in part to the Lehnin. In 1411 the village was attacked by robber barons of Magdeburg. 1572 there was a Lehnschulzengut with five hooves, which had rights to different duties and services. Meanwhile, a Hirtenhof, a small bathhouse, an oven, a forge and a small fishing were available. 1591 a Windmüller was mentioned.
