Berlin Actually survived the war relatively intact, compared to, for example, Cologne. Even in places where every second house was destroyed, street layouts remained unchanged. Mitte, Kreuzberg. Neukölln, Wedding: all These suburbs are mostly unchanged. Karl-Marx-Street was renamed twice, but was originally build at today’s width. One of the problems with biking in Berlin are actually the cobblestone roads in many residential areas.
