Neukölln (German: [nɔʏˈkœln] ⓘ), officially abbreviated Neuk, is one of the twelve boroughs of Berlin. It is located south-east of Berlin's center and stretches from the inner city southward to the border with Brandenburg, encompassing the eponymous quarter of Neukölln in the north, and the southern quarters of Britz, Gropiusstadt, Buckow and Rudow.
The borough belonged to the American sector during the Allied occupation of the city. It is characterised by one of the highest shares of immigrant residents in Berlin. An influx of students and artists since the mid-2000s has led to gentrification.
