Berlin - Majakowskiring
Majakowskiring – DDR elite in Pankow
Majakowskiring
At the end of the war, the Soviets cordoned off several areas around the Hohenschönhausen prison. Another area was the residential area behind Schönhausen Castle. The area became "barred" on August 9, 1945 and the residents had to move out. It was all seized. A high fence was erected all the way around the area, which later became a real wall. Inside the restricted area were the roads Majakowskiring, Rudolf-Ditzen-Weg, Pasternak Weg, Stille Weg, Tschaikowskie-strasse. The area is easily recognizable in aerial photos due to the characteristic, racetrack-shaped Majakowskiring. Inside the area then lived the supreme rulers of the GDR.

Wanted
Berlin is always worth a visit - summer or winter - but where to go? Here are some slightly unusual and very different suggestions for places I like to go.
