Rathaus Schöneberg
The district town hall was the main town hall for West Berlin during the Cold War. The freedom bell (a present from the American people) and several memorials from that time can be found here. On the main balcony in 1963 U.S. President John F. Kennedy made his famous statement, "All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!’". On 10 November 1989, Helmut Kohl (chancellor [Bundeskanzler] 1982-1998) and Willy Brandt (former Bundeskanzler and mayor of Berlin) cheered the crowd as they saw the end of the Berlin Wall the night before. The town hall is an emotional place for most people in Berlin (especially West Berlin).

Bayerischer Platz
The Bayerischer Platz is the centre of the Bayerisches Viertel ("Bavarian district", with many streets named after Bavarian cities), which was destroyed a lot more during World War II (about 60%). Somewhere around there Albert Einstein lived once. You’ll find several memorial signs providing information about the Nazi regime's persecution of gays and Jews.

Taverna Ousies
One of the best Greek restaurants along town. Always wise to make a reservation, sometimes a bit noisy.

Zur U-Bahn
One of the last old time Berlin bars in the area, and a great place to sit, drink and meet the locals.
