Wedding
The working-class district with history, characterised by cultural diversity, is developing into Berlin’s youngest trendy district. Students and young families are discovering many new restaurants and cafés in the centrally located district, which borders Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg. With Volkspark Rehberge, Schillerpark and Volkspark Humboldthain, Wedding even has its own green oases.
On the way to tomorrow
It seems as if the central city district, bordering Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Moabit, has finally found its destiny: From the traditional working-class district, the “red Wedding”, to an international research and science location. More than 12,000 future engineers study at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences: the Virchow Clinic with the German Heart Centre is one of the main locations of the Charité. And at the site of the former Tegel Airport, the “Urban Tech Republic” is being built on almost 500 hectares as an international campus for urban technologies with plenty of space for companies, students and flats. This will accelerate the development of the multicultural district into a preferred place of residence for students and young families. The change in Wedding is already noticeable. Numerous high-quality new buildings are being constructed not only in the popular Sprengelkiez, but also in other neighbourhoods. The Gesundbrunnen district is merging more and more with the neighbouring Mitte district. The new BND headquarters on Chausseestrasse is also driving demand for real estate in Wedding. The time of stagnation is over; in Wedding there is only one direction: forward.
Highlights & Tips

Uferstudios
Beyond the buzzing Badstraße, hidden behind high walls, the Uferstudios are one of the most important addresses for contemporary dance in Berlin. In 2010, the listed Uferhallen of the former central workshops of the Berliner Transport Company were converted into a cultural centre for visual arts, music and dance. Since then, choreographers, dancers and other artists have been using the spacious studios as a rehearsal, training and meeting place. The regular events and festivals are open to all.

Julius
Wedding is home to one of Berlin’s best restaurants: the “Ernst” with eight seats and a Japanese-inspired menu of around 50 courses. Its more casual brother is located directly opposite. The “Julius” is a wine and coffee bar during the day, the beans are roasted and brewed by a Japanese coffee master. In the evening, the young team serves a menu with the same high-quality ingredients from the Berlin area and Europe that are used to cook at “Ernst”. This is accompanied by selected wines, beers, cider and champagne.
