Our location in Berlin

The EUREF campus is located in the heart of Berlin-Schöneberg. Popular living quarters and the small distance to the center as well as the colorful life on the street attract tenants from other parts of the city, business people as well as the art and cultural scene alike. In addition to a creative urban environment, the EUREF campus offers excellent regional and international transport connections between the center of Berlin and the future Berlin Brandenburg (BER) airport. The new airport can be reached in about 20 minutes from the about 900 meters distant station Südkreuz, which is also connected to the ICE network. The city highway A 100 is in direct proximity. The S-Bahn stations Schöneberg and Julius-Leber-Brücke are also in close proximity to the entrances of the EUREF campus. From there, there are only three stops to Potsdamer Platz.

Every Berlin district has its own character. In the middle of the "scene" you are on Prenzlauer Berg, in Friedrichshain and in Kreuzberg. Dignified and chic it is in Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf. In Berlin-Mitte, however, you do not live, but come to visit. In demand again are the eastern outskirts of Berlin. Districts such as Marzahn-Hellersdorf and Lichtenberg, which for a long time had a negative image, are gaining in popularity. And not just in the few villa areas or the noble new buildings that are there. No, the "Platte" is back in. Young people, who grew up in the reunification period, are increasingly moving into renovated apartment blocks, called "Platte".

A total of more than 2,500 public parking and recreation facilities make Berlin a green city. Those who stroll through the Grunewald on balmy summer evenings, take a stroll in the garden of Schloss Charlottenburg or caress pot-bellied pigs on the Domäne Dahlem may sometimes forget that they live in a metropolis with around 3.6 million inhabitants. If the stressed-out capitalist wants to relax once, he does not have to drive to the nearby Mark Brandenburg, even the city itself offers many green oases. In the center of Berlin is a large park: the Tiergarten. Animals are hardly rare here to find today, but a romantic lake and the associated "Café am Neuen See" with its large beer garden. There are also numerous parks in various parts of the city, such as the Tempelhofer Freiheit, the Volkspark Friedrichshain, the Gardens of the World in Marzahn and the Britzer Garten. Berlin is crossed by the Havel and Spree, the most important canals are the Teltowkanal and the Landwehrkanal. Incidentally, you will find more bridges in Berlin than in Venice. Alone 6.7 percent of the urban area are water areas, more than 18 percent are covered by forest, another 11.9 percent are recreational areas. From the famous Wannsee lake to the large Tegeler See lake, many lakes invite you to swim in and around Berlin.

Berlin is one of the most important sports cities and sites in Europe. Not only because sports pioneer and gymnast Jahn held his first outdoor exercises in the Kreuzberg Hasenheide and not only because the German capital proudly looks at two premiership football clubs with Hertha BSC and Union Berlin. From archery to dance and volleyball to Ju-Jutsu and more than 200 gyms, there are nowhere else in Germany more possibilities for doing or experiencing sports. Unique is the former Tempelhof Airport. It is the largest inner-city area in the world and invites to skate, stroll, picnic or skateboarding. Admission is free.

And Berlin has much more to offer than international gastronomy, here there is the entire span of the down-to-earth German cuisine to starred restaurants such as the pure substance in Berlin-Mitte. In Kreuzberg, the well-known TV chef Tim Raue runs his eponymous restaurant. And the Currywurst belongs to Berlin like Hertha BSC, Brandenburg Gate and Berliner Bär. The specialty is sold in several hundred stalls in the city - from Kreuzberg to Charlottenburg, from Marzahn to Mariendorf - after all, the specialty is said to have been invented here. Regional specialties, refined finger food and authentic dishes from around the world are what Berlin's many small street food markets offer. The food and drinks on the markets spread throughout the city are usually prepared in front of the guest and promise new taste sensations even for little money.

The product range of the popular market hall includes fruit and vegetables, Berlin specialties and delicacies, as well as the usual suspects such as meat, sausage, cheese and baked goods. The range is rounded off by gastronomic facilities such as cafés and food stalls.
