Berlin street art
This neighbourhood features many courtyards filled with shops, but your focus should be the tattered-looking gateway to the courtyard at Rosenthaler Strasse 39.
Inside is a spectacular exhibit of graffiti. If this great selection of street art doesn't convince doubters that graffiti is a veritable art form, I can't imagine anything could.
The courtyard also offers important Nazi-dissidence history. During the Third Reich, a German man named Otto Weidt helped blind and deaf Jews escape deportation by employing them in the brush factory in this courtyard. There's a museum devoted to Weidt here, in addition to two other Nazi-related museums: One for Anne Frank and the other called Silent Heroes, about everyday Germans who helped persecuted Jews.
