Weissensee: White Lake, Expressionist Film Heritage, and Berlin's Northeastern Creative Quarter
Weissensee is a locality in Berlin's Pankow borough with a population around 48,000. The Weisser See (White Lake), a glacial lake surrounded by a park, gives the neighbourhood its name. The Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee (Berlin Weissensee School of Art) is one of Germany's leading art and design schools. The Juedischer Friedhof Weissensee (Jewish Cemetery Weissensee), with over 115,000 graves, is the largest surviving Jewish cemetery in Europe.
The neighbourhood retains a Wilhelmine-era residential character in its southern streets, while the northern parts transition to Plattenbau housing. The Komponistenviertel (Composers' Quarter) has streets named after Bizet, Mahler, and Strauss. The tram connects to Alexanderplatz in about 20 minutes. Weissensee has attracted artists and creative professionals priced out of Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte. Adult companionship follows Berlin's city-state regulations.
