The fanciful red-and-yellow brick buildings of this 19th-century brewery have been upcycled into a cultural powerhouse with a small village worth of venues, from concert and theater halls to nightclubs, dance studios, a multiplex cinema and a free GDR-history museum. The main entrances are on Knaackstrasse and Sredzkistrasse.
On Sunday foodies fill up on global treats at the Street Food Auf Achse market, while in December the old buildings make a romantic backdrop for a Swedish-style Lucia Christmas market.
