Saturdays at the Kollwitzmarkt

Kollwitzplatz_BerlinWith its cobbled, tree-lined streets, parks, small shops and restaurants with flowered gardens Prenzlauerberg is one of Berlin’s most charming neighborhoods. Known as an alternative district before and short after the Wall Fall, it has changed a lot over the past twenty years. After a heavy renovation process the area turned into a nest of young families, many of which formed by its former and once underground inhabitants. Today successful professionals – what can be assumed by the high rent prices – they live a quieter life, keeping however a sense of open mind and trendy behavior as fans of bikes, second hand shops and bio products.Kollwitzplatz market  berlinIn the heart of this family environment in front of the cute Kollwitzplatz, there is a program that can’t be missed: Saturdays at the Kollwitzmarkt Between 9a.m and 5p.m all kinds of products – most of them natural, ecological and handmade – can be found here: natural soaps, clothing, handcrafts, accessories, prints, toys, books, plants, fruits, breads, cheese and sausage.
