Scheunenviertel refers to an area in the centre of Berlin just to the north of the Alexanderplatz . Until the Second World War it was regarded as a slum district and had a substantial Jew ish population with a high proportion of migrants from Eastern Europe. Following German Reunification the Scheunenviertel, together with the Hackescher Markt and Spandauer Vorstadt , has become a fashionable district popular with younger people. Note that Scheunenviertel is often mistakenly used as a synonym for Berlin's Jew ish quarter. Jewish cultural and commercial life was however centred on the neighbouring Spandauer Vorstadt , where New Synagogue and other Jewish establishments are located. |
