Visitors can recharge their batteries here – and charge their cell phones too! The Urban Oasis is designed as a consumer-free space. A place to exchange ideas and switch off – in a pleasant microclimate, even on hot summer days.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

Hardworking bees on Ku'damm:
\na small contribution to biodiversity<\/h3><\/div>
\t
<\/div>\t
<\/div>\t
<\/div>\t
<\/div>\t
<\/div>\t
<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]The number of bee colonies is declining, but everyone knows how important bees are as pollinators. Since 2021, three bee colonies have therefore found a perfect habitat on the roof of the hotel.<\/p>\n

A real “Berlin mix” as experts say, because our bee colonies were formed by offshoots of bee colonies from Charlottenburg. The nuptial flight took place in Wilmersdorf, where male bees (drones) fertilized the queens.<\/p>\n

The honey or nectar yield of a bee colony with approx. 50,000 bees can be up to 300 kg per year in our latitudes. Initially, the bees need a large proportion of the honey produced for their own use, such as winter food. They now produce a surplus of between 10 and 50 kg per colony.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

An eventful past<\/h2><\/div>
[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
How Kranzler Eck Berlin became an icon<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

[vc_column_text css=””]The history of Kranzler Eck Berlin goes back to the imperial era. Since then, it has been sung about by Udo Lindenberg and Hildegard Knef, among others, and has served as a location for music videos and film productions, such as the Netflix series Kleo.
