IUCR: Life in Berlin

Did you know that...

... Berlin is one of the most multicultural cities in Germany? At the end of 2022, around 3.6 million people were living here. Around 30 percent of them immigrated to Berlin from abroad or are descendants of immigrants.
... a total of around 197,000 students were enrolled at Berlin's universities in the winter semester 2023/24? 23.7 percent of students come from abroad.
... the largest departmental store in continental Europe is the Berlin Kaufhaus des Westens, better known as KaDeWe, founded in 1907? The sales area on six floors is more than 60,000 square metres, which is the equivalent of eight football pitches. Over 50,000 people visit the international department store every day - sometimes twice as many during the Christmas season. The gourmet department on the sixth floor is also famous, with over 30 restaurants and bars.
... there are over 60 weekly markets, design markets and flea markets in the Berlin area? The "Turkish Market" on Maybachufer in Neukölln is particularly popular, offering a colourful assortment of fruit and vegetables, Turkish specialities and colourful fabrics. Many visitors are drawn to Winterfeldtplatz in Schöneberg and Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg. The offering there ranges from organic products and specialities from many countries to felt shoes, handicrafts and natural cosmetics.
... up to 80 Christmas markets attract numerous national and international guests to Berlin every year? From nostalgic to sustainable, from Scandinavian to Japanese: Berlin is now considered the German capital of Christmas markets.
