You can discover this district full of surprises by foot or with the excellent public transportation net. It is here that you find many of Berlin's splendid and monumental historical buildings e.g. on our boulevard Straße Unter den Linden.
The area around S-Bahnhof Hackescher Markt is part of the "Spandauer Vorstadt" an area that is listed and protected as historical monument. In consideration of the historical plans this area is being rebuilt and redevelopped. In the archs of the viaducts of the S-Bahn near Monbijoupark, rebuilt in 1998, you can today find a lot of small shops and Cafés. The Hackesche Höfe
demonstrate in an impressive way the mixture of living, working and culture that was so typic for the old Berlin. The matching architecture of the Neue Hackescher Markt reassembles the original building structure.
Although designed by different architects those 12 new buildings for work and living take up the dense architecture of the "Spandauer Vorstadt".
