West Berlin was one of the destinations of Turkish migrant workers and their families who came in Germany beginning in the 1960s. Many families settled in the (West) Berlin districts of Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Wedding, where they established small businesses, such as grocery stores and restaurants, which became integral parts of the neighborhood economy and culture. This Turkish language sign indicates the Zentrum Kreuzberg – Kreuzberg Merkezi.  The Kreuzberg Center, close to the Kottbusser Tor subway stop, is a large housing and commercial development built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.  However, with the recent gentrification of Kreuzberg, which is now among the most expensive areas in Berlin, the neighborhood’s character has changed and many families with Turkish roots have moved to more affordable districts or to the outskirts of town.
