An architectural gem on the “black brothers” street known from old Berlin legends. Unfortunately, the street itself will be new again in autumn 2022 with horror: construction has been going on for years. All of the historically significant residents and visitors to the Nikolai House at Brüderstraße 13 are immortalized by name on plaques on the house and on an information board. Not all names evoke any memories. But lo and behold: hiking in the Harz between Neinstedt and Stecklenberg, the "Poetensteig" at the so-called Nelkenstein (not yet recorded in Google maps) is reminiscent of the hikes and poetry of the very forgotten Christoph August Tiedge. This has a lasting effect.

The Nicolaihaus - somewhat hidden on Brüderstraße - is of outstanding importance for the history of Berlin and the German Enlightenment. Named after the publisher and writer Friedrich Nicolai (1733 - 1811). It's definitely worth a visit; you can find out the opening times online.

Worth seeing

The Baroque Nicolaihaus, named after its most famous resident, is located on Brüderstrasse, hidden between Petriplatz and the State Council building. The German Foundation for Monument Protection now uses it on the ground floor for events and on the upper floors as a Berlin branch. It was restored with love and a lot of expertise. The short walk down this street is worth it.

Strolled in by chance on Sunday and received a very informative and charming tour from the employee. We recommend.
