Discover Moabit: Berlin's Blend of History and Modernity
Discover Moabit, a transformed northern district of Berlin, now a vibrant blend of history and modernity. Explore its roughly 4-kilometer route, taking about an hour and a half, filled with green spaces, cultural landmarks, and welcoming local businesses.
Begin your journey at Beusselstraße S-Bahn station, greeted by the friendly 'Freundlicher Späti' and 'Freundlicher Bäckerei'. Head to Otto Park or Union Park, two green spaces offering respite from the city's hustle. Near Union Park, find the 'Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik' (ZK/U), a hub for art and urban studies.
The route passes by the historic Arminiusmarkthalle, now a bustling food and shopping hub. History enthusiasts can visit the deportation memorial at Putlitzbrücke, honouring Jewish citizens forcibly removed during the Nazi era. Culture enthusiasts can catch a show at Theater X, starting its new season on November 5. The Reformation Church houses the active 'Reformations-Campus' association.
Moabit's transformation offers a mix of history, culture, and community. From green spaces and art hubs to historic markets and memorials, the roughly 4-kilometer route provides an engaging exploration of Berlin's northern district.
