About this audio guide
This guide to Klunkerkranich in Berlin starts on the fifth floor of a Neukölln shopping mall, where since 2013 the mall's own parking deck has quietly grown into what its founders call a cultural rooftop garden: over a thousand square meters of wooden decking, planter boxes and herb beds built straight onto the bare concrete. Thyme, oregano and wormwood grow underfoot, a sandbox draws children by day, and a small club called Hinter den Alpen fills the same corner after dark. A listening tip: notice the concrete slab still visible beneath the boards as you walk.
