Mitte

Mitte has the center of Berlin since the fall of the Wall. A part of the former GDR, the district has largely shaken off its Socialist past and numerous new companies, agencies, and exclusive shops have settled here.

Mitte is not only a trendy and popular district, it is also the origin of Berlin and the home of a large part of the capital's most famous landmarks and sights. The district also has a thriving creative scene as well as countless leisure and nightlife opportunities, especially around Oranienburger Straße.

Alexanderplatz, the centre of the eastern city center of Berlin, is the counterpart of Breitscheidplatz and Kurfürstendamm in the west. It is to be redesigned in the near future.
