 | Berlin Hackesche Höfe Reviews | 1 - 10 of 28 |  |
In the interesting Scheunenviertel quarter of Berlin you will find a series of lovely linked courtyards, which have been beautifully restored over the years.
The main one is Hackesche Hofe, which consists of eight linked courtyards filled with trendy cafes, galleries, shops and theatres. These courtyards were designed in the early 1900's. The first courtyard's (Hof 1) buildings are decorated with lovely patterned Art Nouveau tiles. In other courtyards you can see stylish apartments looking over the garden like interior.
Right next to Hackesche Hofe is Rosenhofe. This pretty courtyard features a sunken rose garden and sculptured metal decorations which are supposed to look like part of the surrounding greenery.
Close by you will find the narrow Sophienstrasse arcade which has been lovingly restored to its former late 18th century glory. Here you can check out a number of arts and crafts shops.
We really enjoyed walking through the courtyards and browsing in the shops and galleries. Leave a Comment Directions: Hackesche Hofe & Rosenhofe are at Rosenthaler Strasse 40-41. Sophienstrasse is at Grosse Hamburger Strasse 29 Nearest Subway: Hackescher Markt (S3/5/7/9)

 Spectacular tiling of Art
Noveau style. by Kakapo2
They are eight or nine restored commercial courtyards from the early 20th century (1905 to 1907), and were designed in the Art Noveau style. Now they host expensive restaurants, expensive cafés, expensive shops, expensive galleries, and a cute little cinema. They are linked, and you can walk from courtyard to courtyard through arches in the buildings. From the street you would not expect such a maize of courtyards.
The first courtyard, hidden behind a black marble façade, is absolutely spectacular. It is tiled with glazed tiles up to the roofs, the tiles laid in colourful geometric patterns. But this was the disappointment. Your expectations are raised by this fantastic piece of architecture, you expect more miraculous creations – but it does not get better, the first courtyard is already the highlight, and crowded by delighted tourists.
What makes the other courtyards nice is the lot of vegetation around established trees – a little green haven in the middle of a huge city. Directions: Hackesche Höfe are located between Oranienburger and Rosenthaler Straße, and reach up to Sophienstraße in the east. S-Bahn station Hackescher Markt which is just across the street, and U-Bahn U8, Weinmeisterstraße.

These yards were created in the midst of large apartment blocks and small businesses.
There are several yards , some look quite normal, others are something special. The first one is very colourful and I suppose the one with the most pictures taken, but I actually like one the others better. This one is very green, in summer there are lots of flowers and in the middle of it there is a small bistro. The perfect place to relax after sightseeing. Leave a Comment

 Hackesche Hofe by magor65
Only then did we read that the place used to be inhabited mostly by Jews. The complex with eight rear courtyards was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It was used for variety of purposes: little factories, flats, shops and restaurants. The courtyards have been faithfully restored and become more and more popular.

Este grupo de edificios esta unido por varios pasajes que comunican 8 patios abiertos muy hermosamente decorados. Hay cafes, tiendas, peluquerias y un monton de gente, claro. El mas bonito es el patio uno, disenhado en estilo Art Nouveau. Un buen lugar para tomarse una copa y disfrutar del ambiente local. Directions: S-Bahn: Hackescher Markt

The Hackesche Höfe consists of a web of eight courtyards for living and working, which together forms the largest of its kind in Germany. Like many Berlin courtyards, this complex of buildings, which arose around the turn of the last century, was a mixture of offices, workshops, multi-story factories (particularly in the front courtyards) and apartments. This concept was also adopted and successfully applied during the modernization of the courtyards, which were in serious need of renovation. Hof I (Endellscher Hof), which was designed by the Jugendstil artist and architect August Endell, houses the "Chamäleon" cabaret theatre, a film theatre, and several bars and restaurants; in Hof II (Theaterhof) there is the Hackesche Hof Theatre and a series of architects' offices; the remaining courtyards are occupied by numerous smaller shops and galleries. The area around the Höfe is also thriving: with countless bars, restaurants and clubs; it is one of Berlin nightlife's most talked-about districts. Leave a Comment

"The Hackesche Höfe are eight interlinking courtyards at the heart of the new Berlin that give a whole area its name and host a wide range of entertainment and culture - day and night.
The courtyards were build around the turn of the century as an organic complex of living and business space, including art & culture, crafts, business and gastronomy. Interlinking courtyards are typical of the old Berlin, but hardly any of them has been refurbished as beautifully, with Art Nouveau mosaics and ornaments.
The first courtyard is named Endellscher Hof after its architect, August Endell, and hosts the Chamäleon cabaret, as well as the Hackesche Höfe film theatre and several bars and restaurants. Also located in the area are designer shops, craft factories and galleries and - particularly famous - the Hoftheater.
In addition to all the ambitious art venues, the area is also famous for its exciting nightlife - bars, restaurants and clubs have created the lively and vibrant atmosphere that Berlin is famous for.." Leave a Comment
