Top 10 Things to Do And See On Oranienstraße

Harriet Blackmore

Oranienstraße runs through the heart of Kreuzberg from Görlitzer Bahnhof to a few streets from Checkpoint Charlie. The Kreuzberg district is often seen as capturing the rawest spirit of Berlin, with its entangled and complicated history and central to anti-establishment communities. Though the city has changed a lot, Oranienstraße is still key to capturing the essence of Kreuzberg. With everything from bars, museums and urban gardens running along it, we give you a run down of the places worth stopping when you’re in the area.

1. Museum der Dinge

This tiny museum in the heart of Kreuzberg is an unusual treasure and well worth the visit. A tour of familiar and unfamiliar objects, Museum der Dinge displays items of design significance from the 20th century. For those interested in design, and those not, an hour’s stop in a collection of intriguingly arranged accumulations, and challenging perceptions of everyday objects, is time well spent.
