Today the bustling Oberbaumbrücke bridge unites it, along with the two subdistricts the bridge connects.

The postwar modernist estates in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg attract less attention than other neighbourhoods. Here, new housing was developed on a grand scale in both East and West Berlin between the 1960s and 1980s. The area east and southeast of Alexanderplatz in Friedrichshain contains a large number of prefabricated buildings with plenty of green spaces in between – and it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful here, despite the central location.
The large housing estate at Hallesches Tor is a major residential development in Kreuzberg. This development was recently expanded by removing car parks – relics of a car- friendly city planning approach – and replacing them with new apartment buildings. Potential has been tapped in the past, and still continues to be tapped, for new construction on a large scale in Kreuzberg. The formerly desolate area around the Gleisdreieck underground station formerly is under transformation into a park with adjacent residential buildings.
Mediaspree is slowly starting to take its final shape, but construction cranes are stilldominating the skyline.
