Berlin’s Mauerpark Flea Market in Prenzlauer Berg.
Mauerpark is a public park in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district. The name translates to "Wall Park," referring to its status as a former part of the Berlin Wall and its Death Strip. The park is located at the border of Prenzlauer Berg and Gesundbrunnen district of former West Berlin.
Now every Sunday in the park there is a huge flea market. I am not talking just rows of girls selling there old clothes with eh occasional antique furniture guy. I mean the thing is a massive maze of trinkets and clothing, bones, furniture, bikes over piles of bikes, jewelry, that odd guy selling tools you don't recognize and old nazi memorabilia. but for as big as it is I didn't find it anywhere are intimidating a crowd as Brooklyn fleas can be. i mean there were as many people but there was far less commentary about the crowd from people as they pushed and shoved passed you.
I help my friend buy her first bike here which too is a pleasant difference from the Brooklyn Biking experience . But we will talk about that later.
Next to the flea is a the most amazing spectacle of karaoke I have ever seen. it was beautiful. It is really a surreal experience, here thousands of people meet spontaneously, in order to listen and sing karaoke to an enormous outdoor crowd . It's like a wall of people watching you sing.
