Walking Tour Kreuzberg Off the Beaten Track

This garden shows how spontenously people can change their neighbourghood.

about the unique architecture.

Engelbecken is part of the former "Luisenstädtischen Kanal", that existed between 1849 and 1926

Since then it has been developped to a succesfull project not only for young people in the area

You can still see the differences between the former east and west.

Before the wall it devided, this church was one of the biggest christian communites in Berlin. Today it hosts a great exhibition about the time of the Berlin wall in this neighbouhood.

Today it is a multi-functional building including a musicschool and the cafe-restaurant "Three sisters". Nearby we see the first of the many ocupied houses in Kreuzberg. Another nice monument is the "Feuerwehrbrunnen" by the Kreuzberg artist Kurt Mühlenhaupt.

Best atmosphere!

women to shop on the market, business people to celebrate end of days work and tourists to enjoy one of the atmospheric food places. Not to oversee many of socially deprived folks!
