The Treehouse

Cute story but not exactly cute to look at.
Only one house, but if you got some time to “kill” then it makes a descent destination.

The most fascinating thing about this treehouse is the story behind. Its creator (RIP) was a brave man with great determination who got the support of his community in order to save something he created with love. A curious story between the West and East after the fall of the wall.

Awesome story about this house. If you wanna know it (and a lot of others stories), check on alternative Berlin tour and ask Xavier ! He is awesome

The story about how this place was built is very interesting... If you are in Berlin, do try to join a free walking tour to this place.

This place makes no sense and is no way a tourist attraction, unless you have read the story of the man who built it. Its out of the way ...the nearest tourist stop is east side gallery from where its a 20 minute stomp. I read the story - beautifully composed on the BBC website (its still there) a couple of years ago. It really touched my heart, and with the prospect of revisiting this city it was the one place i couldnt fail to see with my own eyes. Its not a tourist attraction per se. There's no gift shop. There's no loo. You can't go in....its someone's private residence. Read the fabulous story of the man who believed in his heart that God gave him this piece of no mans land left over between East and West Berlin, and resisted all efforts to be evicted. Then he was rescued (from the authorities) and protected by the locals (and guards alike) who grew to love him being there. Seeing this ramshackle dwelling made it real for me. I had to see it. Its not one for the masses.

When I heard the story about the man and family who lived their I got really happy. It's such a special story and I really hope that the new owners will have the same passion as those who lived their!

A wonderful story that I got to know at the Berlin Scavenger Hunt, if you understand German stop by and read about it right there and wave at the old man that is always sitting at the porch. Besides that it is an interesting architecture and an unique building, worth checking out if you have more than 3 days in the city.
