History in motion – that is Berlin-Mitte. Nowhere else can the true Berlin spirit be experienced more directly than here, where classic meets contemporary. With its government and embassy quarter, headquarters of major corporations, and a vibrant start-up culture, the district is also Berlin’s political and economic center. Mitte sets the tone for the capital and stands as an international trendsetter.
No other district embodies the new Berlin quite like Mitte. Here, history and the present have merged into a truly distinctive blend. Along Unter den Linden and around the Brandenburg Gate, between Museum Island, Humboldt University, the State Opera, and Berlin Cathedral, the splendor of Prussia still shines as brightly as it did a century ago. A magnet for visitors, yes — but far from being a museum piece. With the Parliament, the Federal Chancellery, ministries, and international think tanks located here, many of the nation’s key political decisions are made in Mitte. Around Hackescher Markt, Oranienburger Straße, and Torstraße, galleries, boutiques, bars, and restaurants attract a cosmopolitan crowd.
This interplay between past and present makes Mitte an inspiring hub for entrepreneurs and the creative scene alike. Short distances and an excellent infrastructure further enhance the district’s urban and dynamic atmosphere. Consequently, both rental and ownership properties in Mitte are highly sought-after, making it one of the most desirable residential areas in all of Berlin.
