Berlin's districts, researched
Sixteen Berlin districts, each written from dated official sources: what the area is now, what changed recently, and when it is not worth the journey. The depth is uneven and the pages say so: six districts were researched in full, and ten got a shorter entry.
Neukölln
Neukölln has two different travel fields: dense North Neukölln and the more open, mixed urban forms of the south.
Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain lies in former East Berlin between Volkspark Friedrichshain, the Spree, the Ringbahn, and Lichtenberg.
Every sentence is still sourced. There is simply less of it, because these districts have less written about them by the offices and papers the research draws on.
Moabit
Moabit is a densely built Ortsteil of Mitte, enclosed by the Spree, the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal, the Westhafen canal and the Charlottenburg connecting canal.
Marzahn
Marzahn is an eastern Berlin Ortsteil shaped by the contrast between the preserved village core of Alt-Marzahn and the largest housing estate of the former GDR.
Köpenick
Köpenick is a large, low-density area in southeast Berlin shaped by forest and water.
Schöneberg
Dense inner-city Berlin: Gründerzeit blocks, proper squares, and around Nollendorfplatz the oldest continuously queer quarter in the city.
Treptow
This file uses Treptow for the urban river and park area around Alt-Treptow.
Charlottenburg
Charlottenburg is a western inner-city area shaped by the former City West around Kurfürstendamm, dense period housing and a quieter residential southwest.
