I'm excited to be publishing a guest post by Jorge G. who shares his vast knowledge of Berlin courtyards with us! (Pictures also belong to Jorge G.)
A long time ago, when I was still getting acquainted with central Berlin’s urban landscape, one of the many things that intrigued me was the size of the street blocks. I soon found out that most of Berlin’s blocks are actually “hollow” inside, sporting instead very spacious inner courtyards.
Access to these courtyards is sometimes restricted to residents, but, fortunately for us explorers, other times open to all. And many of these public spaces have very interesting stories to tell.
