Afrikanisches Viertel

The Afrikanisches Viertel (English: African Quarter) is a neighborhood in Wedding, a locality of Mitte, Berlin, Germany.

It is bounded by Müllerstraße, Seestraße, Volkspark Rehberge, Goethepark, and the border with the neighboring borough of Reinickendorf.

In particular, the streets named after Germans who were involved in colonizing parts of Africa, such as Lüderitzstraße, Petersallee, and Nachtigalplatz, which have been the target of occasional renaming initiatives.

[6] Of Berlin's 20,000 legally registered residents of African heritage, a large portion lives in Wedding and neighboring Tiergarten.

The area is also home to the Friedrich-Ebert-Siedlung [de], as well as four buildings along Afrikanische Straße between Sambesistraße and Seestraße designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
