EXTERIOR
The facade of the building exhibits a classic European architectural style, reminiscent of late 19th and early 20th-century historicist designs commonly found in cities like Berlin or Vienna. The pastel purple exterior with white accents highlights a refined elegance, while the symmetrical layout and evenly spaced rectangular windows contribute to a sense of balance and order. The decorative white moldings around the windows and the subtle cornices add a touch of Neoclassical influence, which was often incorporated into residential buildings of that era. The wrought-iron railings on the balconies evoke elements of Art Nouveau, with their delicate and functional design, while the overall simplicity and lack of excessive ornamentation hint at a transition toward early modernist influences. The ground-floor entrance, featuring a dark-colored double door, reinforces the building’s traditional urban residential character. The combination of these elements results in a sophisticated and timeless facade that blends historic charm with understated elegance.

LOCATION
Crellekiez, which is centered around Crellestraße, is a small, vibrant area within Schöneberg that shares some of the multicultural and artistic energy typical of Kreuzberg, but with its own unique character.

Schöneberg itself has a rich history, particularly related to LGBTQ+ culture, as it was historically the heart of Berlin's LGBTQ+ community, and it remains an inclusive and diverse area today. Crellekiez contributes to this diversity with a mix of local Berliners, international residents, and creatives.

The neighborhood is also home to some fantastic cafés and restaurants. La Cantine d'Augusta is a cozy French bistro offering authentic dishes in a casual, intimate atmosphere. For a great coffee experience, Drip and Drop Café serves specialty coffee in a laid-back setting, making it perfect for both coffee lovers and those seeking a relaxing space to enjoy a brew. These spots, along with the many others in the area, embody the creative and welcoming spirit of the neighborhood.

Crellekiez is conveniently located, just about 20 minutes from the main train station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, when taking the S-Bahn from Julius-Leber-Brücke station. Additionally, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is approximately 30 minutes by car, making it easily accessible for travelers.
