Jim’s Berlin: Wrangel Kiez

(Our intrepid explorers J and J take the rest of the family on a trip to another corner of Berlin…the Wrangel Kiez)

Wrangel Kiez in Kreuzberg has a population density of approximately 27.000 people per square kilometer which is about the same as Manhattan. It also has a very young and ethnically diverse population which makes it one of the more vibrant neighbourhoods, even for Berlin standards. Of course there are plenty of scene bars and clubs including Madam Claude’s on Lübbener Strasse and Lido on the Curvy Strasse.

Josefine and I however like to hit Pizza Amore which is on Wrangel Strasse and just watch the street life. “Mister Pizza Amore” – that is his name – will try and convince you of to things 1) That he is Italian (he is from the Lebanon) and 2) That you need to put garlic sauce on your pizza as this is good for your “Amore”. Great bloke. We recommend pizza Kuku which is with Turkish spicy sausage, feta cheese and of course extra Amore. The easiest way to get there from the Circus is to take the U8 to Kottbusser Tor and then the U1 to Schlesisches Tor.
