From the 17th century to World War II, Scheunenviertel lay at the heart of Berlin’s large Jewish district. During the 19th century the community flourished, its prosperity reflected in grand buildings such as the Neue Synagoge, which opened in 1866. Left to crumble for nearly 50 years after the double devastations of the Nazis and Allied bombing, the district enjoyed a huge revival after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a walk in this area will reveal cafés and bars that are home to some of the city’s liveliest nightlife.
