Guided Story
Can you hear the clinking sound nearby? It might be coming from the Rixdorfer Schmiede just to your east, where traditional blacksmithing is still alive. If you look north, you'll spot the statue of Friedrich Wilhelm I., a nod to the Prussian roots of this area. Richardplatz isn't just any square; it's a tapestry of stories. A bit further east, you'll find the Bethlehemskirche, a church reminding us of the Bohemian exiles who settled here centuries ago. Imagine this square back then, bustling with people and tales of those who lived and worked here.
