Niederschönhausen (German pronunciation: [ˈniːdɐˈʃøːnˌhaʊ̯zn̩] ⓘ, literally "Lower Schönhausen") is a locality (Ortsteil) within the borough (Bezirk) of Pankow in Berlin, Germany. It is also known as "Pankow-Schönhausen" to differ it from Hohenschönhausen in Berlin-Lichtenberg. From 1949 until 1960 Schönhausen Palace and the adjacent Majakowskiring quarter were the residence of several members of the East German government, commonly referred to as Pankow by the West German media.
