About Karlshorst
Where to stay in Karlshorst
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Karlshorst carries more life than most outer quarters, yet keeps few hotels. Streets of villas and apartment blocks in the borough of Lichtenberg run around the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin and the harness racing track, with the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst drawing the occasional visitor. Rooms stay scarce.
Most guests base themselves in central Berlin and ride out to the Treskowallee.
About Karlshorst
What are the main landmarks in Karlshorst?
Karlshorst carries an unusual spread of landmarks for an outer locality. The Museum Berlin-Karlshorst holds the district's best-known collection, the Kirche Zur Frohen Botschaft serves the parish, and the campus of the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin spreads nearby. Monuments dot the streets.
The Nikos Beloyannis Monument and the Duncker Monument stand among them, and a memorial recalls the site of a former forced-labour camp on the Treskowallee.
What is the history of Karlshorst?
Karlshorst wears its history openly. Within the borough of Lichtenberg, the district gathered a harness racing track, a technical college, and later the collection now held by the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, each marking a different chapter of the growing quarter. Harder memory sits here too.
The Nikos Beloyannis Monument, the Duncker Monument, and the forced-labour camp memorial on the Treskowallee record the twentieth century's weight on Berlin.
