Description
District 4, centered around Langstrasse, has a short but turbulent history marked by authentic multiculturalism and urban contrasts. Formerly a catchment area for immigrants and marginalized groups, it has evolved into a neighborhood where old and new coexist.
The red-light district influences areas like the so-called 'Bermuda Triangle,' where historic bars and clubs still reflect the district’s vibrant past. This contrast fuels creativity among galleries, architectural firms, designers, and restaurants in the area known locally as 'Chreis Cheib.' The name 'Cheib,' meaning animal carcasses, refers to former pits that have since vanished but remain part of the district’s identity.
