History
The area of the neighbourhood was originally named Myrica and was acquired in 1261 by the city of Cölln.[1][2]
Geography
Luisenstadt is bounded on the north by the river Spree, in the west by the Lindenstraße (in Friedrichstadt), and in the south by the Landwehrkanal. A smaller part of the zone now belongs to Mitte (in the same-named district) and the greater part to Kreuzberg (in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district).
