Berlin |
Today, Wedding is one of the poorest areas of Berlin. Low rents accompany the poverty in Wedding so, like many inexpensive areas in large cities, it is home to a vibrant artists' community. More than other 19th-century working-class districts, the original character of Wedding has been preserved. It is said to be a place to find the Schnauze mit Herz (big mouth and big heart) of the working class. However, the spirit is not exclusively German. The multicultural atmosphere is visible in the bilingual shop signs. The buildings of Wedding are relics of European post-war Modernism. Some old buildings survived the war and urban renewal and still have coal heating. There are also the remains of a large World War II bunker on the northern edge. It provides an impressive view, especially to the north. Plötzensee is a popular summer hang-out offering lovely sandy beaches and long lawns on which to relax. Review © 2009, Wcities |
