Shopping in malls is a thing of the past, today one explores the hidden gems of the trendy Berlin districts<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” rtl_reverse=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1592380934364{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_class=”reverse-row”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_single_image image=”7837″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”v-center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1596540416661{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_class=”w-mid”]Near the Jannowitzbr\u00fccke, for example, one finds the world of Jakob Wagner, owner of Urban Industrial. Pure industrial design! Jakob Wagner searches for and collects antique pieces of furniture, which he brings back into shape in a wonderful way. It is said that \u201cVintage\u201d is his middle name. Whether solid wood tables, bar stools, leather sofas, lamps or wall design, this industrial furnishing trend is taking the hearts of buyers by storm! And the showroom with its 800m\u00b2 is even made available as an event location<\/a>![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1594036976156{margin-top: 4vmax !important;margin-bottom: 4vmax !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_column_text el_class=”w-mid”]And on it goes in Berlin\u2019s Mitte district. There are many small back roads all around Schendelpark, in which extraordinary shops with many new ideas are lined up. Next stop is ECOALF. Founder Javier Goyeneche was frustrated with the amount of waste that industrialized countries produce and in 2009 started to make fashion series that are made from recycled materials.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_single_image image=”7838″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLANET B” font_container=”tag:div|font_size:44|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Kristi%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”two-know-quote”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1594036982648{margin-top: 4vmax !important;margin-bottom: 4vmax !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_single_image image=”7861″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_column_text el_class=”w-mid”]According to the principle “BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLANET B” Javier presents modern design here in Berlin’s ECOALF and for every T-Shirt with the slogan that he sells, he donates to the foundation for environmental protection. ECOALF also offers in-store workshops<\/a> on how to make the world a little bit of a better place.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1594036982648{margin-top: 4vmax !important;margin-bottom: 4vmax !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_column_text el_class=”w-mid”]Ever heard of Berlin’s most creative chocolate factory? It is \u2013 as well – something to find in Berlin\u2019s district Mitte! The gem is located just around the corner of the Heckmann-H\u00f6fe. This unique and diverse range of unusual chocolate souvenirs, appetizing gastronomy related to chocolate, cr\u00eapes & waffles, animation & workshops<\/a> in a nostalgic atmosphere, equipped with copper tubes and self-designed shelves and tables from Singer sewing machines is a real eye-catcher![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_single_image image=”7855″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1594036982648{margin-top: 4vmax !important;margin-bottom: 4vmax !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_single_image image=”7844″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”v-center”][vc_column_text el_class=”w-mid”]And finally \u2013 as promised recently – a detour to Berlin\u2019s district Friedrichshain because that is where the Stra\u00dfenbr\u00e4u is located, a so-called brew pub. Standing outside in front of the windows, one can already watch how the team pursues the art of brewing. The focus is on producing high-quality craft beers. Aspiring hobby brewers can even learn how to brew beer here. They can develop their own beer for a planned event in a workshop<\/a>, brew it and then – of course – drink it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1591797538051{margin-top: 6vmax !important;margin-bottom: 3vmax !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”7879″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css_animation=”bottom-to-top” link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/8FYLogznxSo”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\"Wolfang","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
