The tree house at the wall is a two-story hut built by the Turkish immigrant Osman Kalin from scrap materials on an occupied traffic island at Bethaniendamm, on the border between the Berlin districts of Mitte and Kreuzberg. To be precise, it is not actually a tree house, but rather a garden house built around two trees.
During the division of the city, it was located in no man's land of the Berlin Wall; later it was tolerated by the city authorities, even though it had been erected without a building permit or lease in public space. Due to its history and atypical appearance in the urban landscape, it is considered a sight and tourist attraction.
