CONDOMINIUMS BY THE EAST SIDE GALLERY

LOCATION

In the midst of the inspiring bustle of the metropolis, around a lovingly landscaped garden courtyard, a pleasant refuge that lends its inhabitants peace and energy for the vibrant life outside its front entrance is emerging. The enduring, timeless elegance of the architecture and the stylish serenity of the materials and surfaces sourced with self-assured taste create this pure reflection of a distinctive residential lifestyle.

Berlin – world-class metropolis by the Spree

As established as Paris, as liveable as Copenhagen, as hip as New York – the German capital is very popular in many respects. Visitors are flocking to Berlin to experience its diverse cultural landscape and retrace European history.

Students, artists and those with great ambitions are moving to Berlin to be part of the vibrant art or startup scene and experience the spirit of the city that is constantly reinventing itself. The old and new citizens of Berlin value and make the most of the huge culinary offering in the trendy neighbourhoods. Everyone is gushing about Berlin – the city that knows no boredom and is a daily source of inspiration.

Last but not least, there is Berlin’s high quality of life and the diverse leisure activities on the water – Berlin has twice as many bridges as Venice!

The banks of the Spree in Friedrichshain are a renowned Berlin location that inspires with its history, old warehouses and modern new buildings as well as with culture and entertainment. Osthafen, with its enormous dockside warehouses, was opened in 1913 – the first signs of development of this business location where trade and industrial enterprises set up shop. Due to the Second World War and the later construction of the wall in GDR times, many of the properties lay in ruins for decades.

After German reunification, investors took an interest in the location – most notably the American property entrepreneur Philip Frederick Anschutz who purchased and developed the plot covering 17,600 square metres around the present Mercedes Platz. His largest project was the multi-functional hall for sporting events and concerts, which is now called the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Not only is it a major atraction for pop concerts and ice hockey matches, it is primarily considered an initial impulse for urban development of the district that is steadily evolving into a Berlin hotspot – for going out, working and living. Nice cafés, outstanding restaurants and bars constitute the special atmosphere in the neighbourhood.

BERLIN-MITTE – SIGHTSEEING MEETS THE AVANTE-GARDE
BERLIN-FRIEDRICHSHAIN-KREUZBERG ARE EMBRACING THE HIP LIFESTYLE

Mite is unquestionably famous for its top tourist atractions such as the TV tower, Museum Island, Unter den Linden, the State Opera or the City Palace, that is currently being built – but there is even more: numerous art galleries and a vibrant food culture are also well established.
The name says it all: if bicycle shops are called »The Golden Handlebar«, cafés »Neither yesterday nor tomorrow« and men’s hairdressers »Barber Shops«, then you know that people in the area are urban cosmopolitans.

The innumerable trendy restaurants, inviting bistros and bars with long opening hours, which are not only to be found on every corner in the Simon-Dach-Strasse or Bergmannstrasse neighbourhood but in every building, are another indication of this. Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg are the trendiest and most sought-after residential areas in the city.

Landmark by the Spree: the Oberbaum Bridge

BERLIN-TREPTOW: THE CONTACT POINT WITH NATURE

A river brings nature to the urban space. The Spree offers numerous recreational activities in Berlin in immediate vicinity of Friedrichshain’s business district. Spanning nine hectares, Treptower Park is a green haven in the city, the Stralau peninsula and the Rummelsburger Bucht offer plenty of green for outings or sports. Plenty of water sports such as boating and paddleboarding can also be seen here.

BUSINESS ALONG THE BANKS OF THE SPREE

An old light bulb factory has become loft offices for innovative startups. Headquarters of international companies are moving into the warehouses on the banks of the Spree: Friedrichshain with the Oberbaum City and the former Osthafen became the number one entrepreneur hub and established location of renowned companies, such as Universal Music, Daimler Services and Zalando, who are behind the job miracle in Berlin alongside other companies.

In the park covering 9 hectares, the jogging trails can be extended or shortened as desired – depending on motivation and stamina. Pastures on the routes often provide pleasant shade.
In the past, when Berlin was still a divided city, no more than a few border guards would patrol here. Today, this stretch of the river bank is very popular among strollers and joggers.

The Oberbaum Bridge crosses the Spree and connects Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, formerly in the western and eastern parts of the city. The distinctive brick construction with two 34-metrehigh towers has long been a Berlin landmark and often appears in films that are shown in Berlin.

  • An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno

    An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno

    Menu Search Red Bull Music Academy Daily An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno A look back at the stripped-down subgenre that defined the German capital from 1998-2008 September 7, 2018 By Joshua Glazer In 1998, the rave scene that gripped Germany after reunification was at its apex. What had started in the literal underground spaces of post-GDR Berlin after the fall of the Wall had gone mainstream, with millions of young people celebrating the colorful culture of electronic dance music all across the country. But the techno utopia envisioned by many as the new millenium approached was already starting to come undone. The trend was swiftly co-opted – ironically, by some of the same capitalist forces that had defeated the communist system a decade earlier. The bubble soon burst, and many of those truly dedicated to the music were forced to rebuild. The result was something that was the opposite of rave’s over-the- top excess, a movement that idealized a minimalist aesthetic in sound, visuals and fashion. It was a lifestyle that resisted the unbridled exuberance of rave in favor of something more sustainable – and sustain it did, with tracks that filled whole sides of vinyl and parties that went on for days at a time. Berlin became the center for this new creative community, drawing in techno practitioners and aficionados from around the world who came for the party and stayed for the ease of living made possible by cheap rents and easy access to artist visas. “Minimal” became the buzzword around this scene, and while overindulgences were aplenty in freewheeling afterhours, the “arm, aber sexy” (poor but sexy) slogan coined by then-mayor Klaus Wowereit could not have been a more accurate appraisal of Berlin’s appeal.

    Berlin - Wikipedia

    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

    attraversiamo photography dorothee hauser paris budapest sarajevo barcelona berlin new york english texts sarajevo 28 july 2011 Paris The lull before the storm the peace in the photograph gives no indication of the commotion that is about to follow in order to catch the train at the Gare de l’Est. a moment suspended in time in the heights of the Père Lachaise cemetery A bit of luck A ray of sun I felt a reassuring sense of familiarity as the lens came closer like a hand on my shoulder. Mélanie Budapest Lánchíd – The Chain Bridge The postcard in your hand is the first image of the city. Many never get any further than that: Budapest = The Chain Bridge. Of course, that which has become a cliché was once important. The Chain Bridge was the first bridge that connected the venerable, aristocratic, sedate and historical, hilly and green Buda with Pest. A new city built on flat grounds that was loud and boasted exciting artistic and bohemian influences. On this bridge Dorothee has found a corner that makes all this disappear, and only the architectural miracle appears, the myriad daubs, and below the ice floes on the Danube. And somewhere the morose morcos Katinka, who doesn’t like being photographed… I was curious to see which colour would dominate in the image, almost praying that it wouldn’t be the cold blue of the Mettmenstetter kitchen. Katinka Berlin “Bonjour tristesse“ – the gentle melancholic welcome to a new day would appear to have been made with the Berlin district Kreuzberg in mind which, though urban, retains a village-like charm.

    BERLIN Non-Stop Party Is there any city more happening than creative, dynamic, eclec- tic Berlin? Even if the boom isn’t what it was five years ago— when everything seemed at full-boil, and everybody wanted to be there—still, the “stigma” of a city on the edge is part of Ber- lin’s essence. Germany’s capital city is 100% movement, just like a great party. Maybe the magic comes from the mix: East and West, tradi- tion and avant-garde. An intriguingly assembled stew of musical, artistic and gastronomic proposals; a trend-originator and well- spring of cultural currents. Yet with zero pretense. Packed with contrasts and the ghost of its infamous past, to- day’s Berlin is a city that fascinates. For visitors there’s always a before and an after—not unlike the before and after that the city itself is undergoing in what must be a second, or even third, ad- olescence. StyleMap is not exhaustive Berlin—you’d need multiple vol- umes and weekly updates for that—and we’ve left the tourist at- tractions for the conventional guides to cover. In contrast, we sim- ply offer an approach, shaped by insider perspectives. Because Berlin is a city that everyone needs a little help getting to know, whether it’s via interaction with locals, experiencing nights off the beaten path, on S-Bahn streetcars or poking into courtyards (re- gardless of how forbidding they may appear). And therein lies the key. You’ve got to go in, turn up the curiosity and let it happen.
