Typical of many of Berlin’s 19th-century apartment buildings is the Berliner Zimmer: a corner room that forms the meeting point between the front of the building facing the street and the perpendicular side wing. With only a single window overlooking the central courtyard, the Berliner Zimmer tends to be gloomy – a dim space for passing through. If you are lucky, it may receive a brief ray of sunshine at some point during the day.
