Are these details incorrect?

1. Charité

Many important physicians, such as Rudolf Virchow and Robert Koch, worked and taught at this world-famous hospital, founded in 1710. A Museum of Pathology has some 23,000 remarkable exhibits on display.
2. Alte and Neue Schönhauser Straße

Alte Schönhauser Straße is one of the oldest streets in Spandauer Vorstadt. The lively road is still characterized by a colourful jumble of traditional and trendy new shops.
3. Deutsches Theater

Once Max Reinhardt’s place of work, the theatre – widely considered the best German-language theatre – shows mainly German classics, often in new interpretations.
4. Berliner Ensemble

This theatre, established in 1891–2 by Heinrich Seeling, was the main venue for Bertolt Brecht’s plays.
5. Hochbunker

One of the last surviving World War II bunkers.
6. Monbijoupark

A small park, in which once stood the little Monbijou palace. It is now an attractive green space for a rest.
7. Auguststraße

The area round this road is one of the closest to the original old Scheunenviertel, featuring old interior courtyards and many buildings that have not yet been restored.
8. Koppenplatz

In this small square, a monument of a table and upturned chair recall the expulsion of the Jews.
9. Sophienkirche

This parish church, built in 1712, has managed to preserve its traditional Old Berlin charm. Be sure to see the Baroque pulpit.
10. Tucholskystraße

This narrow street is typical of the transformation of Scheunenviertel – trendy shops next to decaying façades.
