walking tour with food:-)
by catwoman4
hey, i was invited to an eat-the-world-tour in berlin-kreuzberg. it was great! you really get in touch with the real berlin + you can taste some typical food of berlin. for me, it was the best guided tour i ever did because it's very different from the other ones, it's berlin off the beaten path. (website:eat-the-world.com) i like food, so for me, i will miss the food of Berlin: the currywurst, apple pie, different and cheap food from all over the world! please don't go to a burger shop, you can eat everywhere burgers. try the different foods of berlin. and don't forget the berliner weisse!
Potzdamer Platz
by m-joy
In the year 1990 this area was bare ground, during the 90?s it was the biggest building site in Europe, now everything is new and alive again. A good place for shopping and relaxing, but is it great architecture? Maybe.
Skylights
by matcrazy1
Some Berliners rebuilt their flats/apartments on the last floors especially in the upclass district of Charlottenburg. Hmm... modern skylights in the roofs of the old buidings looked a little strange. Shouldn't they forbide to renovate old buildings with no respect to history ?
Church in Nikolassee, 1909-1910
by Kathrin_E
The wealthy and green suburb of Nikolassee with its villas and gardens does not at all look like a quarter of a big city like Berlin. The church is situated on top of a hill above the Rehwiese park, entirely surrounded by trees and meadows.
The church was built in the early 20th century in the so-called Heimatstil, a historistic style formed by traditional crafts and techniques.
Date: 1909-1910
Architect: Erich Blunck and Johannes Bartschat
Confession: protestant
Address: Kirchweg 21, Nikolassee
Location: above Rehwiese
How to get in: open Sat and Sun 14.30 - 17.00, otherwise contact the parish.
Bar for common people in Kreuzberg
by carlote0 about Madame Claude
I just discovered a fantastic place in Kreuzberg, that just opened a month ago.
The place is called "Madame Claude" and the bar keepers are french and really nice guys.
The decoration is amazing, everything is upside down, and we can feel as if we were at somebody's place, or at home...
There is an interesting program with live concerts, blind tests! and good djs (I recently saw Léonard de Léonard there...).
I really appreciated the table tennis, it is really funny to play with so much people.
The atmosphere is really unique and original (and the cocktails too...)
I found their myspace with the program: www.myspace.com/madame_claude
An incredible bar, and opened everyday!
