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.

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.
