Legends of the White Lady’s ghost and the battle with a terrifying river giant… Clocks that always tell the wrong time… Counterfeit coins from the royal court that funded a long war… Retribution for a greedy preacher, a harsh but just punishment for a depraved vicar, and court sentences so cruel they would make any of our contemporaries shudder… All this in the very heart of Berlin, where, in the shadow of the TV Tower, a neighbourhood steeped in history and stories has existed for centuries.
Nikolaiviertel is the embodiment of the Middle Ages, but you’ll have to look hard to find traces of those times!
