Shops for the workers |
Karl-Marx-Straße 66 Berlin, Berlin 12053 +49 (0)30 627 3973 http://www.forum-neukoelln.com/ |
Home to 65 shops including a gigantic supermarket, an electronics superstore, a bookshop, internet café and cinema, Forum Neukölln is one of Berlin's newest shopping centres. While fairly impressive architecturally speaking, it has attracted a fair amount of controversy for another reason: Neukölln is a working class district full of unemployed and low wage earners, and none of the "old" high-street shops can compete with their counterparts in the glitzy new centre. It has already become blatantly obvious that the old shops along Neukölln's high street are dying out. Neukölln's public library was pulled down to make room for the new centre, but now resides on the highly-prestigious top two floors of the Forum. At least they didn't let themselves get messed with!
