PARS Pralinen
The pastry chef Kristiane Kegelmann creates small, extraordinary works of art that conjure up an exciting flavor explosion with every bite. Not only is the outer form perfected art, also the exciting composition of the flavors interpret a completely new kind of chocolates: modern, poetic, innovative and so delicious! I love the Pars chocolates, whose fillings vary seasonally and capture the natural seasons in a praline. Kristiane Kegelmann shows great care and attention to detail in selecting her exquisite ingredients. Only ingredients from sustainably working farmers get into their wonderful chocolates, and most of them from the direct surroundings of Berlin.

König Galerie
It’s a gallery in a former church built in the 1960s in the Brutalist style, where large-scale exhibitions take place in two different spaces, the former chapel and nave. In Berlin everything is possible. The gallery König is showing its art in a former church, but also hosting yoga classes. Every Wednesday evening Eva Kaczor invites you to her yoga session "Yoga meets art" in the former church St Agnes at König Galerie - come and get yourself steamed up, surrounded by art. s

Boros Bunker
The bunker, which was built 1941 and later called the "Banana Bunker” is used since 2007 as an art collection for the couple Boros. After a 5 year renovation, they show changing exhibitions of national and international artists in a total of 80 rooms and 3000m². During the conversion, 1.800 tons of concrete were removed and the original room height of 1.90 to 2.30 m was partially extended to up to 20 m to create new visual axes. The selected artists decide independently if they want to show their artworks in a white cube or rooms with fabric-covered walls and graffiti-sprayed surfaces. A visit is only possible after prior registration - groups of up to 12 people will be guided through the exhibition spaces in 90 minutes: www.sammlung-boros.de.
