Moabit: Berlin's Central Island, Criminal Court, and the Neighbourhood Between Hauptbahnhof and Tiergarten
Moabit is a locality within Berlin's Mitte borough with a population around 81,000. The district is effectively an island, bounded by the Spree river to the south and the Berlin-Spandau Ship Canal to the north and west. The Kriminalgericht Moabit (Moabit Criminal Court), Europe's largest criminal courthouse, has been in operation since 1906 and handles the most high-profile criminal cases in Berlin. The Arminiusmarkthalle, a 19th-century market hall, has been revitalised as a food market.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Europe's largest crossing station, opened in 2006 on Moabit's southern edge. The Westhafen (West Harbour) on the ship canal is Berlin's largest inland port. Moabit was historically a working-class and industrial district; the AEG Turbinenhalle on Huttenstrasse, designed by Peter Behrens in 1909, is considered a masterpiece of industrial architecture. The Kleiner Tiergarten park and the Reformationskirche provide neighbourhood focal points. Gentrification has accelerated since the Hauptbahnhof opened. Adult companionship operates under Berlin's city-state framework.
