Where to stay in Blankenburg
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Blankenburg keeps a village feel inside Berlin, its houses set low around the Village Church Blankenburg. Guest rooms in Blankenburg are hard to come by, just a handful tucked among the old lanes of Alt-Blankenburg. The few guest rooms sit among the old lanes of Alt-Blankenburg, well away from the crowded middle of Berlin, so a night here trades museums and nightlife for garden plots, allotment paths, and quiet under the church tower.
Choose it for calm. If you want a still, low-rise corner of Berlin over a room in the centre, and you like waking to church bells rather than traffic, Blankenburg around Alt-Blankenburg suits you.
About Blankenburg
What are the main landmarks in Blankenburg?
The Village Church Blankenburg stands as the chief landmark of Blankenburg, a small stone church at the centre of the old settlement. Around it lies Alt-Blankenburg, the historic core, where low houses and garden plots still trace the lines of the village that Berlin later absorbed. Old walls hold.
What is the history of Blankenburg?
Blankenburg began as a country village beyond the edge of the growing city, long a separate place before Berlin reached it. Its parish gathered at the Village Church Blankenburg, the oldest surviving building here, while farms and orchards worked the ground around Alt-Blankenburg. Fields gave way slowly.
Much of the low, garden-set character of that older village held on even as Berlin spread outward and folded Blankenburg into its ring of quarters.
