Relaxation like in Bali, mini golf under old trees and a museum full of letters - Moabit is a neighborhood with many surprises. Let's go on a neighborhood tour!

History Park Former Moabit Cell PrisonLehrter Straße 5b

"Of all the suffering that fills this building, beneath the brickwork and iron bars, a breath is alive, a secret trembling..." This line is written in large letters on the five-meter-high wall of the former Moabit cell prison. It was written by the poet Albrecht Haushofer, who was incarcerated here from 1944 to 1945. The prison complex, built in the 19th century, comprised 520 individual cells in which the inmates were completely isolated from one another. The Prussian "model prison", built by Carl Ferdinand Busse, was in use until 1955. Today, the listed historical park with its sophisticated garden architecture is both a place of relaxation and a reminder of a dark chapter of Germany's past.

Vabali Spa

Seydlitzstrasse 6

Bali is so close! The Vabali Spa wellness resort is located in the middle of the city, not far from the main train station. 13 saunas and steam baths, a large sauna garden, various pools, sun decks, fireplace and relaxation rooms as well as massage treatments and fine cuisine in the midst of Indonesian flair leave nothing to be desired. Here you can simply relax and leave the hectic city behind you for a few hours at the entrance door decorated with exotic flowers.

Moabit Children's Farm

Seydlitzstrasse 12

Building nesting aids for birds, observing dragonflies in the pond, planting your own vegetables, getting to know yourself better and having lots of fun with other children - all this and much more is possible at the Moabiter Kinderhof. Since 1997, the play, learning and adventure center has invited children between the ages of seven and 13 to use a wide range of nature-based activities free of charge, completely according to their interests. Based on the concept of holistic personality development, the young guests can have direct experience in nature at this adventure playground and experience adventures and discover their own strengths while trying things out. www.moabiterkinderhof.de

Kiezküchen Minigolf Moabit

Rathenower Straße/Döberitzer connection

You need 18 holes to be lucky! On the edge of the Fritz-Schloß-Park, the inviting minigolf course "Kiezküchen Minigolf Moabit" is located under shady trees. Friends and families can test their ball skills here. Short breaks are also provided: the kiosk sells snacks and drinks, there are places to sit, and four-legged guests are also welcome - on a leash. The course is part of the homeless shelter "Rathenower Küche der Kiezküchen GmbH". The proceeds are used to support the provision of food to people in need, and the minigolf course also employs people from qualification projects. The course is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the last time you can play is one and a half hours before closing time.

Species protection Theater Moabit

Lüneburger Strasse 370

Live music, dance, cabaret and theater in the S-Bahn arch: The Moabit Species Protection Theater, once founded by Swabians who are faithful to their dialect, wants to protect and save a wide variety of art forms - as the name suggests. The association of the same name, which has existed since 2009, is also very keen to offer artists who are still at the beginning of their careers a first stage. Open stage evenings are therefore not uncommon here! And who wouldn't want to visit a theater under the S-Bahn and have a really good time? www.artenschutztheater.de

Small zoo

The Kleiner Tiergarten stretches over seven hectares, surrounded by Turmstrasse, Alt-Moabit, Wilsnacker Strasse and the Heilandskirche. The green park, which has been called the "Kleiner Tiergarten" since the middle of the 17th century, offers large lawns and benches to relax on, leads along various footpaths past water features and flowerbeds and has a lot to offer, especially for children: right in front of the spacious "Schräge Vögel" climbing playground there is an inline skating course including a tunnel. At the back of the park is the enchanted "Biergarten im Kleiner Tiergarten", which immediately feels homely. On the other side, barbecue specialties are served at "Wilhelms Burger".

Book canteen

Dortmunder Strasse 1

The "Buchkantine", a literary café and delicatessen on the Bundesratufer with a view of the Spree, has great potential to become a favorite place. Both the beautiful terrace outside and the cozy seats inside make it difficult for visitors to leave - the inviting selection of books, decor and specialties makes it even more difficult. Light meals, various breakfasts and a large selection of drinks ultimately make it almost impossible. It's best to plan plenty of time to enjoy and browse! www.buchkantine.de

Letter Museum

Stadtbahnbogen 424

You can find everything here from A to Z: People with a passion for typography and a passion for public signs can really get their fill of the Letter Museum! This special museum preserves, restores and presents letters from Berlin and all over the world. Old neon signs, distinctive lettering and letters that adorned shopping centers, hotels and shops have helped shape the face of the German capital. They can be admired in the tram arches of the Hansaviertel. The unique museum also offers workshops - for example in its neon workshop. www.buchstabenmuseum.de
