Hackesche Höfe

Fodor's Review:

Built in 1905-07, this series of eight connected courtyards is the finest example of art nouveau industrial architecture in Berlin. Most buildings are covered with glazed white tiles, and additional Moorish mosaic designs decorate the main courtyard off Rosenthaler Strasse. Shops (including one dedicated to Berlin's beloved street-crossing signal, the "Ampelmann"), restaurants, the variety theater Chamäleon Varieté, a klezmer-music venue, and a movie theater populate the spaces once occupied by ballrooms, a poets' society, and a Jewish girls' club.
