Between the East Side Gallery, the Oberbaum Bridge and Karl-Marx-Allee, Friedrichshain blends memories of the East with party energy. Come for the Wall’s murals, Saturday’s market on Boxhagener Platz and clubs in former industrial sites.
A working-class district of East Berlin, Friedrichshain is home to the monumental Karl-Marx-Allee, a 1950s showcase of socialist architecture. After the Wall fell, its empty buildings were taken over by squats and clubs, some of which became institutions of Berlin nightlife.
