Neukölln

Neighborhoods in Berlin

"A few years ago, Neukölln was a predominantly Middle Eastern immigrant area whose streets were lined with kebab shops, discount stores, and casinos. That community and those shops are still there, but as Berlin has grown more international and the area’s cheap rents have attracted expats and artists, they’re now mixed up with underground bars, food shacks, and pop-up restaurants and galleries. The transformation of the former airport into the vast Tempelhofer Feld public park in 2010 has put the district even more firmly on the city map, as has charming Rixdorf, a tiny, traditional bohemian village hidden away amidst the surrounding urban sprawl." - MATADOR_NETWORK
