Lonely Planet review for Rixdorf
The contrast between the cacophonic bustle of Karl-Marx-Strasse and the quiet streets of Rixdorf, a tiny historic village centred on Richardplatz, seems almost surreal given that they’re only steps apart. Weavers from Bohemia first settled here in the early 18th century and some of the original buildings still survive, including a blacksmithRichardplatz 24), now a women’s centre, and a farmhaus (Richardplatz 3A). Even these structures are mere saplings, though, compared to the Bethlehemskirche (Richardplatz 22), which has origins in the 15th century.
