Bergmannstrasse is one of the smartest on-trend streets in Berlin. Its sumptuously decorated Wilhelminian buildings, delicatessens, antique shops, restaurants and Marheineke-Markthalle are an attraction for everyone who loves strolling along the streets, browsing through unusual shops and enjoying good food. Looking from Bergmannstrasse into the gently rising cobbled side streets is rather reminiscent of the Parisian district of Montmartre. This part of Kreuzberg is still dominated by a nostalgic ele-gance which it derives from Maria Luise Bergmann (1774 – 1854), the source of the street’s name and a fashionable large landowner who was behind the building of the neighbourhood in the 19th century. Not far from Bergmannstrasse, Berlin lies at your feet: the highest point of Kreuzberg is located in nearby Viktoriapark, which provides a marvellous venue to relax and survey Berlin.
