Arminiusmarkthalle

This guide to the Arminiusmarkthalle in Berlin traces a cathedral-like iron market hall built in 1891 by the city's own building director for the fast-growing factory district of Moabit, raised in barely a year using prefabricated iron parts still new at the time. It follows the hall through wartime bomb damage, a patched-up 1950s rebuild, and the decades as a quiet neighborhood grocery stop before a 2010 revival brought street food and crowds back through its gothic arches.
