One large guest room near Winsstraße in Prenzlauer Berg |  |
|
| Prenzlauer Berg was one of the smallest areas in Berlin until the day it got connected to Pankow. So now it´s officially a part of Pankow. But still people - and not only the inhabitants - use the nickname "Prenzelberg" to describe the original area with it´s many various sights. Here you find a small selection of descriptions about some sights: |
In Husemann Strasse ...which was restored as a “museum street” in the 1980s, you should really take a look in the small shops with their historical furnishings. There was, e.g., a true to original post office, respective letter boxes, telephone boxes etc. Unfortunately, not a lot of this has survived since reunification. A local history museum demonstrates the residents’ way of life at the end of the 19th century. You can still buy quite a lot of the exhibited things in the antique shops next door. |
