Located south of Berlin-Mitte, it was a separate political entity until the administrative reform of January 1, 2001, when it was combined with Friedrichshain to form the new borough of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Since these two boroughs are linked only by a single bridge over the Spree river, the Oberbaumbr?cke, this combination seemed awkward to many residents. The two boroughs also could not agree on a common location for the future borough's city hall, so the present location in Friedrichshain was decided by throwing a five-Mark coin.
