In Berlin’s lively center, the eventful history of an incomparable metropolis is still present today – in the footsteps of the past and yet contemporary. The Mind is at home here. The Oranienburger Vorstadt was already an important industrial hub in the 19th century, home to engineering companies and iron foundries and later also typical Berlin tenements. The nearby Nordbahnhof railway station was an important point of contact for the city. A spacious park was opened on the former railroad site in 2009, adjacent to sports facilities that invite people to play and train. This is just one example of how this unique area has been shaped by time and construction like no other in the capital. When Greater Berlin was created in 1920, the Oranienburger Vorstadt became part of the newly created Mitte district. The former Oranienburger Vorstadt is a listed building ensemble and is considered one of Berlin’s largest and best-preserved historical districts. As soon as you step from your front door onto the street, this unique history is present at every turn.
