Berlin 1st June - 4th June 2004 - Choriner-Straße and Prenzlauer District

 


Choriner Straße is in the Prenzlauer district of Berlin, the old East. It is now a fashionable and somewhat Bohemian quarter with plenty of character, bustle, cafes, new businesses etc. Many buildings in Choriner Straße are being or have already been refurbished; but you can still see some blocks which have not changed since the before reunification.
