⭐ Core Definition: Hansaviertel

The Hansaviertel (German: [ˈhanzaˌfɪʁtl̩] ) is the smallest Ortsteil (district) of Berlin and is between Großer Tiergarten and the Spree River, within the central Mitte borough of Berlin.

The district was almost completely destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt from 1957 to 1961 as a social housing project by international master architects such as Alvar Aalto, Egon Eiermann, Walter Gropius, Oscar Niemeyer, and Sep Ruf. Called Interbau, the whole ensemble has two churches, St. Ansgar (catholic) and Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächtniskirche (protestant). It is now protected as a historic monument.

👉 Hansaviertel in the context of Tiergarten, Berlin

Tiergarten (German: [ˈtiːɐ̯ˌɡaʁtn̩] , literally Animal Garden, historically meaning deer park or hunting game park) is a locality within the borough of Mitte, in central Berlin (Germany). Notable for the great and homonymous urban park, before German reunification, it was a part of West Berlin. Until Berlin's 2001 administrative reform, Tiergarten was also the name of a borough (Bezirk), consisting of the current locality (Ortsteil) of Tiergarten (formerly called Tiergarten-Süd) plus Hansaviertel and Moabit. A new system of road and rail tunnels runs under the park towards Berlin's main station in nearby Moabit.
