You step off the tram into a wide, honest street where the Panke river threads under bridges and old brick façades keep a steady watch. The air carries hints of frying oil from an all-day Imbiss, graffiti that argues with municipal signs, and the distant clack of bicycles on tram rails — this is Wedding, a district that refuses to be tidy.
