0093_Berlin_E.indd 13 19.02.16 14:42 Overview of the Districts

Does Berlin have a centre? Of course there is a Mitte district – and the German word Mitte translates as centre, but is Berlin’s Mitte actually in the city centre?

From a historical point of view, the so-called historical centre is located to the left and right of the magnificent Unter den Linden boulevard – between the Brandenburg Gate on Pariser Platz and the place where the city palace once stood and is now in the process of being rebuilt. This centre encompasses the UNESCO World Heritage Museum Island, the Gendarmenmarkt and the Friedrichstraße. During the GDR period, the undisputed centre of the capital was in the Mitte district around Alexanderplatz. The contrast between the old architec- ture, such as the Marienkirche (Our Lady’s Church) or the , and the Modernist (East) buildings, such as the TV tower could hardly be bigger. However, if you ask any of the young visitors to the city where Thought about it? Berlin’s centre is, then you will find that most of them give only one an- Simply tick and set off swer: around the Hackescher Markt, prepared in the so-called north Mitte encom- passing Oranienburger Straße and Passport the (Barn District).

central position, as is shown by the many foreign visitors around Sony Center, the Marlene-Dietrich-Platz and the Leipziger Platz. Yet Potsdamer Platz is nonetheless not the traditional centre, at least as far as the people from West Berlin are concerned. For them, the centre is as it always was the Ku’damm, the Tauentzien, the Memorial Church and the KaDeWe – and thus the intersections of the three areas Schöneberg, Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf, called City West. From the shopping perspective, Ku’damm and Friedrichstraße seem to be equal rivals, while Schloss Charlottenburg is for the City West what the Museum Island is for the Historic Centre. But what is a centre without the periphery? Based on the definitions of the centre above, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Schöneberg are located on the periphery. Yet, when one looks at Berlin as a whole, they are also ‘in the centre’. So the periphery must be defined differently in Berlin – something a long way out. And even if many people from the inner-city areas are moving to the suburbs, the Prenzlauer Berg area with its beautifully restored old buildings remains one of the most popular residential areas in Berlin with young, affluent families; it has the highest density of prams and pushchairs. Around Kollwitzplatz and Helmholtzplatz, a lively restaurant and pub scene has grown up and there is a wide range of cultural attractions, for example in the KulturBrauerei. Kreuzberg, for some a negative, for others a positive example of a multi- cultural society, was once the hindmost part of West Berlin and only moved into the centre of the city after the fall of the Wall, where together with Friedrichshain it now forms a lively east-west district, in which there is a lot going on, especially by the Spree. The Mercedes-Benz Arena (originally called O2 World) was opened in Autumn 2008. The surrounding, former industrial area is now in the process of being developed with businesses and
