Prenzlauer Berg is a district where everything seemed possible after the fall of the Berlin Wall and which attracted unconventional minds, life artists, creative people and students from all parts of Germany and the world. Today, two-thirds of the population here has changed and Prenzlauer Berg is mostly associated with the word gentrification. Stroll through the different eras with a city guide. Hear stories of beer brewers and squatters or learn the dark history of the Dicken Hermann, Berlin's oldest water tower, which today stands in the middle of the nightlife district. Discover the stories of civic disobedience that took place behind today's luxury-renovated facades.
