Mitte:

Auguststraße & Linienstraße

Auguststraße is like a cabinet of curiosities, where a fascinating architectural landscape converges with Berlin’s turbulent historical depth. From the Jüdische Mädchenschule, designed in the New Objectivity style in 1930, to the iconic KW (Kunst-Werke, Institute for Contemporary Art) established in the 1990s in a former margarine factory, the district is abundant with narratives. It’s also home to cutting-edge contemporary art galleries such as Eigen + Art, Galerie Neu, and neugerriemschneider, who claimed their presence here as early as in the 1990s. The district is seamlessly interwoven with historic landmarks such as the New Synagogue, built in 1866 for Berlin's Jewish merchant community, tragically destroyed in the 1930s. Oranienburger Straße, heavily damaged during Kristallnacht and WWII, saw little reconstruction during the GDR era: only in 1961 was Monbijoupark, nestled between the street and the Spree River, transformed into a public park. In 2008, the area welcomed major galleries like Sprüth Magers, cementing its global cultural significance.

Tiergarten Potsdamer Straße

Potsdamer Strasse, long known for its alternative entertainment offers, has evolved into a thriving epicenter of contemporary art over the past several years. In 2011, Judin Galerie boldly established itself in the Mercator Höfe, taking residence in the former Tagesspiegel printing factory. In 2017, Cologne’s Esther Schipper followed suit, unveiling her Annabelle Selldorf-designed flagship space in the same building. The venue has since hosted art giants Blain Southern, and now houses the fifth Berlin location of acclaimed gallerist Max Hetzler. The newest addition to Mercator Höfe is Galerie Thomas Schulte, while longtime resident HUA International presents a dynamic exchange between some of Europe’s and Beijing’s most daring contemporary artists just above. Just a few steps down to Kurfürstenstrasse reveals an exciting array of young, innovative galleries such as Molitor and Heidi, the latter situated alongside conceptual powerhouse KOW, who have also joined the vibrant mélange within the past twelve months.

Leipziger Straße

Leipziger Straße, a key artery connecting former East and West Berlin, now pulses with the energy of contemporary art, offering a rich tapestry of spaces that define the city’s cultural evolution. Galerie Thomas Schulte, a pioneer in the scene, has occupied the historic Tuteur House since 2006, its striking corner space added in 1913 by German modernist Hermann Muthesius. Julia Stoschek, a leading advocate for video art and time-based media, opened her renowned foundation here in 2016, further solidifying the street’s cultural importance. The area is also home to vital non-commercial spaces, such as Kunstverein Ost, founded in 2018 to support artists from Central and Eastern Europe through fellowships and residencies that engage with the region’s complex history. Sweetwater, a visionary conceptually-driven new gallery, added further energy to the avenue in 2021, followed by Klemm’s flagship relocation from Kreuzberg just last year.
