Sights in Kreuzberg
Edit This
History has left its mark on Berlin, not in the least on Kreuzberg. These days, it still is a melting-pot of different cultures and activities. The Kreuzberg Hill is Berlin’s only hill and serves most of the time as a relaxation spot with both locals and tourist. The best thing to do is wander around the area and visit the several squares and museums and let yourself be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle in the area. An absolute must is the Checkpoint Charlie museum, offering an impressive overview of this crossing-point, and the Jewish Museum designed by Libeskind. On Auguststrasse are several art galleries.

This museum tells the history of this (in)famous frontier crossing-point. Until the fall of the wall, this was the only Checkpoint Charlie as the only place where foreigners could cross the border.
