Not every hidden gem in Berlin is abandoned. Some are about to be abandoned, should be abandoned, or would be abandoned in any other city.

Some are simply neglected, overseen, ignored, unloved, maybe even unknown. This city is littered with memorials to forgotten heroes of yesteryear, bizarre sculptures, and other curiosities among the last vestiges of alternative culture holding out against the greed-driven forces of change.

This is Rudi’s Berlin, places that tickle the city’s underbelly.
