| One of the most interesting districts of the capital is Prenzlauer Berg. Located east of the center, it attracts both old and new Berliners. Even before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dilapidated old buildings provided shelter to the alternative scene, quickly leading to the creation of the "Prenzlauer Berg myth". Intellectuals, artists, and students shaped the district, it was even referred to as the Montmartre of Berlin. After the fall of the Wall, this image drew in newcomers, affluent youth, and the in-crowd. A rapid transformation began. Trendy bars sprouted up like mushrooms, one Wilhelminian-era residential building after another was renovated. Prenzlauer Berg became the most popular residential and nightlife district in the capital. The picture book showcases these changes, but also much of the district's original charm. In courtyards and prefabricated buildings, industrial monuments, and modern new buildings, the past and future of the district become clear. Unknown and prominent residents - Wolfgang Thierse - have their say. Craftsmen and artists, who shape the district, are introduced along with musicians, multimedia agencies, and architects. |

| It was the year 1955 when an unassuming guitar player who called himself J.R. Cash marched into the soon-to-be very famous Sun Studio in Memphis. The moment was to have a lasting impact on American culture, because with his dark voice he sang intense, real-life songs that had not been heard before.
