Once a firmly working-class district, Friedrichshain became a showcase of socialist urban planning in East Berlin, with the grand Stalinist architecture of Karl-Marx-Allee—formerly used for military parades—now serving as a striking backdrop in productions like “The Queen’s Gambit.”
After reunification, the district’s squatted buildings and industrial spaces transformed into a vibrant hub of nightlife and street art.
Walk along the East Side Gallery, the world’s largest open-air gallery on a remaining section of the Berlin Wall, and visit RAW-Gelände, a cultural complex filled with street art and clubs. Cross the iconic Oberbaumbrücke, a bridge that once marked the Cold War border—and discover even more of Friedrichshain’s hidden gems.
