Rixdorf Neukölln

Weavers from Bohemia first settled in quiet Rixdorf, a tiny historic village centred on Richardplatz, in the early 18th century. Some of the original buildings still survive, including a blacksmith, a farmhouse and the 15th-century Bethlehemskirche, but in recent years the area has become increasingly hip and gentrified and now teems with cafes and creative spaces.
