Older buildings like the Water Tower , near Kollwitzplatz , or the ''Prater Beer Garden'' in Kastanienallee, as well as the old breweries still give an impression of the days when Prenzlauer Berg was part of so-called ''Steinerne Berlin (Rocky Berlin)'' as described by author Werner Hegemann in 1930 .
