Turkish Market

This guide to the Turkish Market in Berlin starts with a hand-painted sign warning against photography, and the 2010 television broadcast that provoked dried-fruit trader Fuat Atik into nailing it up. You'll hear about Atik's decades on this stretch of the Landwehr canal, his morning ritual with one particular tree, and a journey hauling mulberry syrup back from Turkey's Black Sea coast rather than trust it to a shipment. It also traces the market's near-collapse in the 1960s and how Turkish guest workers, arriving to help rebuild the city, ended up rescuing it.
