Berlin:
Schöneberg
HOME0001’s new six-floor building in Schöneberg offers studios and one and two-bedroom apartments, all with large windows and generous balconies.
Just steps away from Victoria Bar, Kumpelnest, Da Jia Le, Ixthys, and Eden Eden, the building offers easy access to anywhere in the city with the U1, U2, U3, U4, and U7 lines.
Originally a village just outside Berlin's gates, Schöneberg joined the city in 1920, its streets filling with elegant stucco façades, Jugendstil balconies, and sequestered courtyards. The name means “village on a beautiful mountain”, which was a deliberate misnomer, a ruse to attract settlers. In the following decades, the neighborhood quietly thrived, attracting writers, painters, and thinkers. The historic red-light district became the world’s first gay village, and since the 1920s the neighborhood has attracted successive generations of radicals, libertines and artists. With a third of its housing stock rebuilt after WWII, the neighborhood has been a petri dish for experiments in housing and urban planning. The result is a distinct social and civic landscape where both failures and successes coalesce into somewhere truly unique.
