Sophienstraße

Between Hamburger Straße and Rosenthaler Straße

The street named after Prussian Queen Sophie Luise in the early 19th century is situated close to Hackescher Markt. Thanks to the building development with cottage industries and small businesses that has been largely preserved from the 18 century, Sophienstraße has the typical old charm of the suburb of Spandau. The entrances to the "Hackesche Höfe", the artistically designed "Sophie-Gips-Höfe" and the courtyard of the Sophienkirche (Church of Sophie) invite you to a trip into remote areas of Berlin old town.
