Friedrichshain

Last time I was in Berlin, I explored the neighborhood Friedrichshain. It is Berlin's smallest, a traditional working-class neighborhood, after the Wall came down it was taken over by students, artists and squatters. With time, Friedrichshain has become cleaner and is now one of the hippest neighborhoods in Berlin. Affluent people moving into the district, cafes and shops followed. Friedrichshain is a glimpse behind the facade and in to the originality of Berlin.
