Apartments for Rent in Samariterviertel, Berlin

Samariterviertel sits in the northeast of Friedrichshain, between Frankfurter Allee and the Ringbahn. It's one of the calmer corners of an otherwise loud district — residential, well preserved, and popular with renters who want Friedrichshain's location without its nightlife on the doorstep.

Living in Samariterviertel

The Kiez takes its name from the Samariterkirche at its centre and is built out in dense, largely restored Altbau. Streets like Rigaer Straße have a long history of housing projects and political activism, giving parts of the area a distinct character. Boxhagener Platz and its weekend markets are a short walk south, and Volkspark Friedrichshain lies to the west. It's residential in a way that the streets around Warschauer Straße are not, while still being firmly inside the district.

Getting Around

Samariterstraße and Frankfurter Tor on the U5 serve the area directly, with Frankfurter Allee providing an interchange to the S-Bahn Ringbahn. Alexanderplatz is around ten minutes by U-Bahn. Ostkreuz is a short ride south.

Who Samariterviertel Suits

The Kiez suits renters who want a Friedrichshain address and a residential street to come home to. It's a common choice for people who have lived in the louder parts of the district and want to stay in the area without the nightlife underneath the window. The U5 makes commuting straightforward, Boxhagener Platz is walkable for weekends, and Volkspark Friedrichshain is close. Rents are generally a little below the streets nearer Warschauer Straße. Parts of Rigaer Straße have an active housing-project scene, which gives the area a distinct character worth understanding before you commit.
