Viktoria-Luise-Platz

Popular quarters in Berlin Schöneberg for temporary living

The Bavarian Quarter is one of the preferred residential areas in the Schöneberg district. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century and offers exclusive residential complexes. Viktoria Luise Platz, one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, is also located in the middle of this quarter. If you like it a little more alternative, you will be drawn to the Akazienkiez and Belzigerstraße areas. Here it is quite artistic and creative. Since the 20's the Nollendorfkiez is known as the gay quarter of the capital and still today offers a high density of special clubs, bars and shops. Friedenau is particularly quiet. Despite its location in the city, Friedenau has retained the charm of a cosy suburban settlement with old trees, many green spaces and small apartment buildings with front gardens. Friedenau has always exerted a great attraction on writers. Many live here or have laid here. Günther Grass is certainly one of the best-known.

This is how it all began in Schöneberg in the 13th century

Those who take a look at the history of Schöneberg will find the first documentary mention on 3 November 1264, when German settlers founded a street village which later grew into a town and was granted town charter. With the incorporation, Schöneberg then became its own Berlin district and remained so until the end of the year 2000. At this time, the districts of Schöneberg and Tempelhof were merged to form the new urban district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

Living away from the flock of tourists

The top sights of Berlin are admittedly not to be found in Berlin Schöneberg, but that is by no means a disadvantage for residents. As a result, there are considerably fewer tourists in the district and it is quieter than, for example, Berlin Mitte. Nevertheless, there is also a lot to discover in the Schöneberg district. The Schöneberg City Hall, for example, gained worldwide fame on June 26 1963 when former US President John F. Kennedy gave his legendary speech and said: "I am a Berliner". Schöneberg's landmark, however, is the Gasometer on the red island and there are also exciting things to discover in the Wilhelm Förster Planetarium. The cultural life in Schöneberg is so large and varied that it doesn't get boring even after many years of life in the neighbourhood. The Odeon was the first cinema in the city to show films in their original sound. The Berlin History Workshop is an interesting place to visit and you can discover bizarre things in the “Museum of Unheard of Things”. Schöneberg is also home to The Green Mango, the largest karaoke bar in Berlin. Therefore, living in a furnished apartment or a furnished flat in Schöneberg will never be boring.
