Berlin |
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, Moabit's location has changed from a border district of West Berlin to a central district in the reunited city. Due to its proximity to the new Government District, many new buildings are being built there, such as, for example, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The new central station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, on Invalidenstraße, is where the east-west railway axis and the north-south axis (under construction) meet. It is Europe's largest railway station. The origin of the name Moabit is disputed. Arguably it can be traced back to the first inhabitants of the area, the Huguenots, in the time of Frederick William I of Prussia. These French refugees may have named their new residence by analogy to the Biblical description of the Israelites in the country of Moab, where they stayed before being allowed to enter Canaan.
