Abstract:
Since decades immigrants have come to Germany and they have changed the appearance, culture and urban experience in cities and neighbourhoods in a significant way. There are certain neighbourhoods like Kreuzberg, Wedding and Neukolln in Berlin that have gained a new identity through the mix and interchange of people with different backgrounds - visible in the context of urban space. There are three main topics that will be analysed within this context: Small family businesses and their influence on their surrounding space; form and use of public space; and significant architecture types like mosques and their role for urban space.
