Wrangelkiez

Wrangelkiez, originally known as Schlesisches Viertel, is a Kiez (small neighbourhood) in the Kreuzberg quarter of Berlin, Germany.

Wrangelkiez is centrally located within the borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg bordering the Spree river.

The area is bordered to the north-west by the Skalitzer Straße road, in the south-west by the Görlitzer Park, in the north-east by the Spree River and in the south-east by the Landwehr Canal.

It also has a high proportion of residents born overseas, particularly in other European countries.

Since German reunification the area has undergone gentrification, but remains known for alternative lifestyles and counterculture.
