Paul-Lincke-Ufer

Paul-Lincke-Ufer is a street in Berlin running along the Landwehr Canal in the Kreuzberg quarter of the city.

Opposite it is the Maybach Ufer where the Turkish Market takes place on Tuesday, Friday and some Saturdays.

[1] The street came into being with the creation of the Landwehr Canal, a parallel channel to the Spree river dug in 1845–1850.

It was named Kottbusser Ufer until 1946 when it was named after Paul Lincke, the composer of operettas and songs such as "The Glow-Worm" and of the unofficial anthem of the city, "Berliner Luft".

[2] Due to the combination of Industrial and Gothic elements, the building became known as the "Cathedral of Electricity".
