Approximate Location: Prenzlauer Berg is a locality of Berlin, forming the southern part of the borough of Pankow. Until 2001, Prenzlauer Berg was itself a borough of Berlin; in that year it was merged into the borough of Pankow. After German reunification in 1990 Prenzlauer Berg became a centre for more bohemian Berlin youth, while more recently it has experienced gentrification.
