Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Neukölln[2] (German: [nɔʏˈkœln] ⓘ; formerly Rixdorf), until 1920 an independent city, is a large inner-city quarter (Ortsteil)[3] of Berlin in the homonymous borough (Bezirk) of Neukölln,[4] including the historic village of Alt-Rixdorf and numerous Gründerzeit apartment blocks. With 163,735 inhabitants (2024) the Ortsteil is the second-most densely populated of Berlin after Prenzlauer Berg. It was originally characterized by mostly working-class inhabitants and later a relatively high percentage of immigrants, especially of Turkish and Russian descent, but since the turn of the millennium an influx of students, creatives, and western immigrants has led to gentrification.
