More about the book

The book explores the intertwined histories of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg in Berlin, focusing on their shared identity before the Berlin Wall's construction and the subsequent divergence caused by opposing political systems. It employs a microhistorical lens to analyze housing, religion, and leisure across different eras, highlighting the effects of urban renewal and gentrification post-merger in 2001. This detailed examination reveals how the legacy of their complex past continues to influence the social landscape of modern Berlin.
