Prenzlauer Berg is unquestionably one of Berlin’s most popular districts. Here, you live at the heart of the action and can experience urban life at its finest. Numerous cafés and restaurants inviting you on culinary journeys around the world, small boutiques with a select range of goods, and specialist shops can be found here. Not only can you conveniently take care of your daily shopping in the immediate vicinity, but Helmholtzplatz also invites you to linger and relax. At the recently redesigned Mauerpark, sports enthusiasts can make full use of the football, basketball, hockey and tennis courts as well as the tartan track, while the Volkspark Friedrichshain, known as a recreational area, is only about 10 minutes away by bicycle. Cultural venues such as the Kulturbrauerei and the Volksbühne at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz are also nearby. Berlin’s renowned cultural attractions can be enjoyed to the full from here: opera houses, the Philharmonie, theatres and numerous museums are all within easy reach. Public transport provides excellent connections to the city centre. The S-Bahn, underground and tram can all be reached within a few minutes on foot. In 1840, the former landowner Wilhelm Griebenow sold the scarcely developed Schönhauser Allee, and it was not until 1858 that master stonemason Rudolf Müller had the present front building constructed as his summer residence. The Wilhelminian-era building and the former laundry factory, which are connected by a courtyard, were renovated in 2010, restoring the historic fabric to its original condition.
