| The Kottbusser Tor aka Kotti is well-known as a social flashpoint. According to the domestic affairs administration, it is one of the most dangerous places in Berlin. Drugs and the problems linked with them dominate all current affairs. Nevertheless you can go there and see the busy life around the fruit and vegetable stands or enjoy the multi-cultural life. The nightlife in the Oranienstraße especially attracts young people, who also characterize the street life. The Kottbusser Tor is a traffic junction and the tube station is surrounded by high housing blocks. Coffeeshops and galeries also belong to the neighbourhood. Slandering through the streets you meet homeless and students, addicts and party folk, artists and many more. Show us the people, life and the destinies – show us how you see the place. |
