Rote Insel is the name colloquially given to a neighbourhood in the Schöneberg district of the German capital, Berlin. As such, the Island is part of Berlin's 7th administrative borough, Tempelhof-Schöneberg.
On the Berlin city map, the neighbourhood is easily located within a distinctive triangle bordered by railway lines in the south-western part of the city centre. Owing to the large trenches dug to accommodate the tracks for trains and light-rail, the only way to access this part of Schöneberg is by crossing one of the many bridges that span the tracks, thus forming the area into an "island." Additionally, the comparative isolation from the adjoining parts of Berlin is also an important reason for the area's being considered insular, it is only metaphorically an island. The neighbourhood is especially notable for its peculiar history, being very indicative of the sharp contrasts that modern German history since 1871 abounds with. Up until the end of World War I, roughly half of the Island's territory was characterised by its extensive use by the Prussian army, whereas the other half was a distinctively working-class residential district, dominated by voters of left-wing parties .
