BERLIN

Kastanienallee is one of the few gentrified areas that has retained its bohemian vibe. After the fall of the wall, many buildings in this area were occupied by squatters, and as squatters generally have an abundance of time, no money, and an alternate outlook, they quickly planted the seeds of culture into this once deserted and dilapidated avenue. Nowadays, Kastanienallee is a thriving biospace with a diverse range of boutiques, artists, freaks and creative nonsense.
