Hermannplatz

Hermannplatz is a chaotic, vibrant square in Berlin’s Neukölln district, where cultures, histories, and urban rhythms collide. Known for its iconic Karstadt department store, bustling U-Bahn station, and eclectic mix of street life, it serves as a hub of transit and daily activity. Here, fast-moving crowds, market stalls, and multicultural cafés create a restless, ever-changing atmosphere. The square is both a meeting point and a space of tension—where modern gentrification clashes with deep-rooted local identity. Between neon signs, digital billboards, and historic architecture, Hermannplatz embodies Berlin’s raw, unfiltered energy.
