Berlin Attractions
Description
Venue: Hackesche Höfe When: Daily
The Hackesche Höfe are eight interlinking courtyards at the heart of the new Berlin that give a whole area its name and host a wide range of entertainment and culture - day and night.
The courtyards were build around the turn of the century as an organic complex of living and business space, including art & culture, crafts, business and gastronomy. Interlinking courtyards are typical of the old Berlin, but hardly any of them has been refurbished as beautifully, with Art Nouveau mosaics and ornaments.
The first courtyard is named Endellscher Hof after its architect, August Endell, and hosts the Chamäleon cabaret, as well as the Hackesche Höfe film theatre and several bars and restaurants. Also located in the area are designer shops, craft factories and galleries and - particularly famous - the Hoftheater.
In addition to all the ambitious art venues, the area is also famous for its exciting nightlife - bars, restaurants and clubs have created the lively and vibrant atmosphere that Berlin is famous for. Try the Oxymeron (if you manage to get in), or the Sophienclub at the other end of the complex.
