Berlin |
Crossing the River Spree at Oberbaumbrücke bridge, we reach the legendary Kreuzberg district. Situated next to the Wall in former West Berlin, Kreuzberg became infamous during the 1960s and 1970s as the centre of West Germany's anarchist scene--a haven for squatters, hippies, punks, and left-wing intellectuals. Although any remaining anarchists have long since fled to neighbouring Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg is still the venue for violent demonstrations every May 1st--inevitably accompanied by pitched battles with the police. A safer bet is to visit the annual Carnival of Cultures, Germany's biggest multicultural street festival which takes place here every summer. Kreuzberg is also home to many immigrants, including some 200,000 Turks. Review © 2009, Wcities |
