osthafenFriedrichshain is a hip district in the eastern part of Germany’s capital, which is full of unique shops and restaurants. Historically, Friedrichshain went through many changes throughout its existence. In the twenties and thirties of the 20th century it was the center of the communist and socialist movement in Berlin. After the Nazis came to power, this was the city part with the most conflicts between the residents and the SA, which is why a big part of the district was destroyed during the Second World War.

In the times of Eastern Germany, Friedrichshain was home to the industrial and trade workers, which is why the famous “Osthafen” and “Ostbahnhof” were built, which can still be found there today. Therefore, it is no surprise that the revolt of the 17th of June 1953 in the German Democratic Republic started in exactly this area.

Today, Friedrichshain is famous for its little shops that can not be found anywhere else and its numerous restaurants and cafes with more than reasonable prices and fabulous food. Usually drawing a young and alternative crowd, Friedrichshain is a lively area in the former Eastern Germany that has many surprises in store for you.

If you feel like taking a vintage picture in an unpredictable photo machine, finding a t-shirt that no one will wear except for you, or enjoying a cheap but delicious Sunday brunch on a sunny terrace, Friedrichshain is the place to go. Especially in the Simon-Dach-Straße are many of the best places.
