This publication is the first comprehensive presentation of Rummelsburg and Victoriastadt. It offers a wealth of information and descriptions of the area for history and city enthusiasts. Architectural landmarks such as a settler's house from the Frederickian era, slag concrete houses from the founding period of the former working-class neighborhood, a shot tower, a school designed by Max Taut, and names like Queen Victoria, Heinrich Zille, and Margarete Steffin speak for themselves. The other side includes a Prussian workhouse and an orphanage, the persecution of dissenters and Jewish people, as well as forced labor in wartime production during the Nazi era. During the GDR period, Rummelsburg's reputation was shaped by a border barracks and a prison. The rapid transformations in Berlin after the fall of the Wall are particularly evident in the example of Rummelsburg.
