Apartments for Rent in Schillerkiez, Berlin

Schillerkiez runs along the eastern edge of Tempelhofer Feld in northern Neukölln. Having a park the size of a decommissioned airport at the end of your street has made it one of the most sought-after Kieze in inner Berlin, and prices have moved accordingly.

Living in Schillerkiez

The Kiez is a compact grid of Altbau blocks between Hermannstraße and the Feld, with Schillerpromenade running through the middle. Its transformation has been rapid — once one of the cheaper corners of Neukölln, it now supports a dense strip of cafés, bars and small restaurants, particularly around Herrfurthplatz. Flats facing the Feld are the most in demand. Hermannstraße itself remains busy and unglamorous, which keeps the area from feeling entirely polished.

Getting Around

Boddinstraße and Leinestraße on the U8 serve the Kiez, and Hermannstraße station adds the Ringbahn and regional services. Tempelhofer Feld provides a direct traffic-free cycling route west toward Tempelhof and Kreuzberg.

Who Schillerkiez Suits

Schillerkiez suits renters who want the Tempelhofer Feld on their doorstep and a lively, international street life around them — a strong fit for younger renters, shared flats and anyone who runs or cycles regularly. The Feld is genuinely transformative as an amenity, and flats facing it are the most contested in the district. The trade-offs are price, which has risen sharply, and Hermannstraße, which is busy and loud along its length. Renters priced out here often look one Kiez east into Rixdorf or south past the Ringbahn, where the same district gets noticeably cheaper.
