Neukölln began as Rixdorf, a village that took in a large colony of Bohemian refugees in the 18th century; it became a city in 1899, was renamed Neukölln in 1912 and joined Berlin in 1920.1 With about 162,500 residents it is the second most populous quarter of Berlin after Prenzlauer Berg, and its people have roots in more than 155 countries.1

Its cafés follow three long streets, Karl-Marx-Straße, Hermannstraße and Sonnenallee, and side streets such as Weserstraße, Friedelstraße and Herrfurthstraße. Bakeries here open as early as 05:00, and the evening cafés on Karl-Marx-Straße stay open past midnight.

Local tip: Take a coffee from die Kaffeemaschine on Herrfurthstraße onto Tempelhofer Feld, which opens at sunrise; on this side the gates are along Oderstraße.6
