Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Neukölln[2] (German: [nɔʏˈkœln] ⓘ; formerly Rixdorf), from 1899 to 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 Rixdorf and numerous Gründerzeit estates. With 163,735 inhabitants (2024) the quarter is the second-most densely populated of Berlin after Prenzlauer Berg. Since the early 13th century, the local settlements, villages and cities until present-day Neukölln have always been a popular destination for colonists and immigrants. In modern times, it was originally characterized by mostly working-class inhabitants, but western immigration since the turn of the millennium has led to gentrification.
