What's unexpectedly in high demand in Berlin right now?

Hey everyone, I'm wondering what's unusually popular in Berlin besides the obvious housing shortage. Thinking along the lines of paddle courts, pole dancing classes, that sort of thing.

Surprisingly, vintage clothing and second-hand furniture are booming. There's a real resurgence of interest in sustainable consumption, and Berlin's always been a hub for that kind of thing, but it feels like it's reached a new level lately. Lots of pop-up shops and markets dedicated to it.

Weinmeister Hotel Quirks?

The Weinmeister

Honestly, the Weinmeister is pretty much exactly what you see in the pictures: industrial chic, but done well. It's stylish, not gimmicky. Forget hidden staircases; you'll find more interesting secrets in a well-stocked Späti. If you're after seriously weird, you need to look beyond the hotel itself. Think dive bars in Kreuzberg, abandoned factories turned art spaces... that's where the real Berlin weirdness lives. The hotel is a good base, but the adventure is outside its walls. Prepare to get lost – that's half the fun.

Yeah, that makes total sense. I figured the hotel itself wouldn't be that quirky, more of a stylish backdrop. Good to know! I'm definitely up for exploring Kreuzberg – any specific recommendations for those dive bars or art spaces? Getting lost sounds… exciting, in a terrifyingly exhilarating kind of way. Thanks for the heads-up!
