In the Nikolai Quarter, Berlin was founded in the 12th century and is the oldest medieval core of today's capital. Until the Second World War, the Nikolai Quarter was a lively neighborhood with inns, stores and crafts. Artists like Kleist, Hauptmann or Strindberg lived here. The German poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, one of the most important poets of the German Enlightenment, lived in the Nikolai Quarter from 1752 to 1775. He finished "Minna von Barnhelm" here.
In 1944 the quarter was largely destroyed by bombing and reconstructed for Berlin's750th anniversary from 1981-1987.
There are still numerous traces from times gone by. Be it the oldest building in the city, the place of first court proceedings, where convicts were allowed to be spat at and kicked, or be it a real treasure from earlier centuries.
