Schönhauser Allee & Kastanienallee

Prenzlauer Berg District

• 

Schönhauser Allee and the adjoining Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg are home to many design stores, fashion boutiques and restaurants.

Schönhauser Allee is the main shopping mile in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district. The streets begins at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Mitte and runs in a straight line about three kilometres north through Prenzlauer Berg to Pankow where it becomes Berliner Straße. After the fall of the Wall the many unrestored old buildings in this area were redeveloped which marked the beginning of Schönhauser Allee and its adjoining streets as a unique shopping and nightlife district.

Fashion chains and vintage clothes shops

Schönhauser Allee is characterized by many contrasts: The bubbly urban activities at the northern part of the street and the trendy, creative atmosphere south where it meets Torstraße, beautifully restored old buildings and modern office cuboids, and big fashion chains and cosy vintage clothes shops.
