Kreuzberg District Council

Since the construction of the Berlin wall, Kreuzberg became a peripheral district of Berlin (West). The stagnating economic and structural development led to a decline in population, decay and desertion in the area close to the border. However, the number of inhabitants increased due to refugees from the GDR and Berlin (East) and the immigration of guest workers and their families, mainly from Turkey. In this archival unit, one can find information on guest workers, including women.
