Treehouse on the Berlin Wall, Wooden architectural structure near Mariannenplatz, Berlin, Germany

The two-story wooden house stands between two trees near the former Berlin Wall location, constructed entirely from salvaged materials and scrap pieces.

Turkish immigrant Osman Kalin built this structure in 1983 on a triangular plot that existed in East German territory but remained accessible from West Berlin.

The structure represents Turkish garden traditions transferred to German soil, combining urban gardening practices with architectural resourcefulness in divided Berlin.

Visitors can reach the treehouse by taking the U1 subway line to Görlitzer Bahnhof station and walking north along Bethaniendamm toward Mariannenplatz.

The building received its own official address from Berlin authorities despite being constructed in a no-man's land between East and West Germany.
