This is the district of
Märkisches Viertel
 Märkisches
Viertel is probably Berlin's best contribution to air
pollution. 40.000 people jammed together in apartment blocks with
hardly a chance to find work in their own district, because there are
no offices or factories. As there is no subway station either, they all
get in their cars in the morning and drive to work somewhere else in
Berlin.
Even the backyards of the blocks have been changed to parking lots.
It's not an area where you can find life on the streets. The MV's - as the folks call themselves - have a tendency to park their cars and disappear in their apartements. The "ghetto" was built from 1963-1974. Then there was nothing else but apartments, now they have some playgrounds for the kids and a shopping mall. Well, you have to like it to live there... How to get to Märkisches Viertel: Go to Wittenau by U8. There you change to bus 122 in the direction of Wilhelmsruher Damm and get out at Senftenberger Ring. View Larger Map |
