Tacheles
The Tacheles building in Berlin is a legendary place and a must-see for culture and history buffs. Originally opened as a department store in 1907, the building was partially destroyed after the Second World War and later became a center for alternative art and culture. From 1990 to 2012, it was home to artists from all over the world who ran studios, galleries and workshops here.
The historical significance of the building is particularly exciting: it reflects Berlin's transformation from a divided post-war Germany to a modern, creative capital. Today, the building is a symbol of the combination of history, art and innovation.
Its location on Oranienburger Straße makes the Tacheles easily accessible, and the surrounding area offers numerous cafés and galleries. Even though the original artists' collective is no longer active, the building impresses with its architecture and the planned new concepts for culture and encounters.
It's worth a visit if you want to get a feel for Berlin's vibrant art scene and take a look behind the facades of the capital.
