Wasserturm - Kollwitzplatz - Biergarten "Prater" .....Since the era of the GDR, writers, students and various cultural initiatives, have aimed to develop the image of Prenzlauer Berg, which grew in the second half of the 19th century as a workmen's district. Older buildings like the water tower with its impressing silhouette near Kollwitzplatz or Berlin's first beer garden "Prater" in Kastanienallee still bare witness to the times when Prenzlauer Berg was good for a Sunday daytrip into nature.
The townscape is dominated by the completely restored Wilhelminian apartment blocks. Countless pubs, bars, cafes and galleries provide a nightlife, which offers unequalled opportunities; especially Kastanienallee, Kollwitzplatz (where sculptor Käthe Kollwitz lived), the Kulturbrauerei (a giant former brewery site, shaped in the architecture of a middle-age castle and expensively rehabilitated) and the Helmholtzplatz are first choice places for clubbing.
CultureJewish culture is to be found in the old synagogue in the Rykestraße and in the cemetery on the "boulevard of the North", Schönhauser Allee, where painter Max Liebermann and composer Giacomo Meyerbeer are buried. The beautiful square around Gethsemane church was one of the origins of the GDR resistance, whereas the 1996 Max Schmeling hall in the Mauerpark, near the former wall, designed in peculiar, attractive architecture for sport and culture events, was erected as a part of Berlin's candidature for the Olympic Games 2000. The hall is also home to the first division basketball team and German champions, ALBA Berlin. In the southeast of Prenzlauer Berg two architecturally interesting sporting sites were erected: The Velodrom and the World Cup Swimming Stadium.
