Berlin/Schoneberg
Schöneberg is a district of Berlin, south-west of the city centre in the Mitte district, south of the Tiergarten district, and the traditional centre of gay Berlin. You can start a walk from U-Nollendorfplatz crossing the Winterfeldmarkt (lovely market, open Thursday and Sunday morning, all year). On the other days there are some people skateboarding or (very skilled!) groups of Inline-Skaters playing street hockey. Feel free to join the game! Further south you´ll - behind the old church - find Goltzstr with lots of small Bars and Cafes. Restaurants provide all sorts of Food and prices are low - compared with other locations in the "touristical" centre of Berlin. Around Eisenacher Str (parallel to Goltzstr.) you´ll find even more Bars and Cafes situated in the Basement of nice old houses. During WW II this part of Berlin was not destroyed by bombs as much as other parts of Berlin, so you can get an impression of what "old" Berlins architecture looked like. This part is also called Bayrisches Viertel (Bavarian district), you´ll find lots of streets with names of bavarian cities. If you walk along Grunewaldstr. to the west, you´ll reach "Bayrischer Platz". Somewhere around here Albert Einstein lived once. You´ll find several memorial signs providing information about the Nazi-regimes rules against gays and jews.
