Reinickendorf: Reinickes Hof

Reinickes Hof is a historic residential complex in Mitte, known for its preserved courtyard structure and industrial heritage. The defining local feature of Reinickes Hof is the surviving older street pattern, plot structure and building lines that remain legible beneath later development. How Reinickes Hof is used over the course of the day depends on the overlap of historic fabric with present-day housing, shops and local institutions. Reinickes Hof lies in the borough of Reinickendorf, about 8.1 km northwest of central Berlin. Reinickes Hof merges gradually into Meller Bogen and Humboldtstraße; building scale, street activity and open space change before any clear boundary is felt. The immediate streets and open spaces give Reinickes Hof a recognisable local identity of its own. Together, these elements make the continuity of the original settlement within modern Berlin central to the identity of Reinickes Hof.
