Friedrichshain

Friedrichshain features a blend of historical buildings, contemporary structures, and green spaces spread across 9.78 square kilometers of eastern Berlin's landscape.

The district emerged as an industrial zone in the 19th century and later became part of East Berlin, experiencing substantial changes after German reunification.

The East Side Gallery, stretching along the former Berlin Wall, displays numerous murals and artworks representing freedom and social change.

The district connects to central Berlin through multiple subway lines, tram routes, and bus services, with postal codes 10243, 10245, and 10249.

At 41 meters above sea level, Friedrichshain contains Volkspark Friedrichshain, the oldest public park in Berlin, featuring two artificial mountains built from war debris.
