kreuzberg

District of Berlin, Germany. Sometimes referred to as "Little Istanbul". Traditionally well-known nationwide for the country's highest density of punks, anarchists, system-critics and döner kebap stalls, although first traces of gentrification can be observed all over the place. Popular for lively bar and club scene beyond mainstream, and ill-reputated for its May 1st riots that draw tens of thousands of police into the city every year. Most likely the next big thing for North American exchange students taking a year off in Berlin.
