Experience Beyond The Center
t Britzer Garten, one of the city’s best green spots
Characterized by a vibrant mixture of international expats, Neukölln is one of the city’s fastest-growing – and fastest-gentrifying – districts. Some tourists would ignore the neighbourhood after seeing traffic-heavy drags like Sonnenallee and the bleak main square, Hermannplatz – but those willing to explore further will soon see why it’s so popular with the locals. Areas such as those around Schillerstrasse and Weserstrasse – not to mention Kreuzkölln – are lined with bistros, galleries and boutiques. While there aren’t many major sights in the area there are still a few places worth visiting, such as the pretty Körnerpark, the Kindl Centre for Contemporary Art, Schloss Britz, Britzer Garten and Neukölln’s historic centre, Alt-Rixdorf.
Reuterstrasse and Hobrechtsrasse are the streets directly south of the Landwehrkanal between Kotbusser Damm and Pannierstrasse. They have been nicknamed Kreuzkölln since they overlap both the Kreuzberg and Neukölln districts. These streets are characterized by a particularly dense concentration of boutiques, bars, galleries, cafés and restaurants. The Maybachufer embankment of the canal also hosts a vibrant Turkish market on Tuesdays and Fridays, and a flea market on Sundays.
Neukölln is the name of both the district and the borough in which it is located.
