Rummelsburg: House boats & Start-Ups

In the “golden triangle” between Friedrichshain, Lichtenberg and Oberschöneweide, the entire area from the Stralau peninsula, across the Rummelsburg Bay and along the Spree is undergoing radical change. Where once ice blocks were stored and coal was shipped, new innovative working environments, studios and designer shops are currently being created. On our guided tour along the “Lichtenberg South Coast”, we make our way from the new office block B:Hub through the developing area along the bay and further on to the southeast. We give you insights into the history of the area and it’s current plans. In addition to new architecture such as the City Marina and the Spree Studios, we pass the grounds of the former Rummelsburg prison, the Klingenberg power plant and a former gas works housing estate, now converted to artists’ studios. The tour ends at the Funkhaus Nalepastrasse, a fascinating complex from the 1950s, housing the largest recording studio in the world.
