Kreuzberg!
Kreuzberg was the ’szene’ before the wall came down and was know as a place where the young men of germany could move to to avoid conscription into military service. now the unofficial Mecca point for the european gay community, Kreuzberg is also home to one of the worlds largest turkish communities (some say bigger then Istanbul itself!) and has a wealth of ‘ethnic’ attractions, galleries, museums, cafes, bars, clubs and restaurants.
since the fall of the wall however, the hipster scene has moved to neighbourhoods like mitte and prenzlauerberg, making Kreuzberg a great place where the streets aren’t filled with ‘faux run-away’ models and tourists.
what the streets are filled with though is supa-cool street art. here are a few photos of work that can be found all over kreuzberg.
