Alt-Hohenschoenhausen: Sportforum, Stasi Periphery, and Berlin's Eastern Olympic Training District
Alt-Hohenschoenhausen is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough with a population around 50,000. The Sportforum Berlin, a large training complex built for the GDR's Olympic programme, produced world-class athletes in swimming, athletics, and other disciplines. The complex remains in active use. The neighbourhood sits adjacent to Neu-Hohenschoenhausen and shares the Stasi prison memorial's proximity.
The Orankesee and Obersee, small lakes surrounded by villas and apartment blocks, provide attractive green space. The Genslerstrasse, a pre-war residential street, contrasts with the Plattenbau estates further east. The tram connects to Alexanderplatz in about 25 minutes. Alt-Hohenschoenhausen mixes older Wilhelmine-era housing with GDR-era blocks, giving it a layered architectural character. Adult companionship follows Berlin's city-state regulations.
