The Kunstquartier Bethanien in Berlin-Kreuzberg is a vibrant cultural center housed in a listed 19th-century building that formerly served as a deaconess institution. After citizens' groups and heritage preservationists saved the historic building from planned demolition in 1970, it has been used continuously for cultural purposes since 1973. Today, the complex is home to the Kunstraum Kreuzberg, a vast printmaking workshop, a state-run studio program, and a music school, among other facilities. A special historical highlight on the premises is the original, well-preserved hospital pharmacy where the writer Theodor Fontane once worked.
